Richie Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 (114* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 01 Aug 18


Hi,

There are four versions of the Welsh Lord Randal, "O Fy Mab Anwyl," in Journal of the Welsh Folk-Song Society: Volume 2, pages 48-52 by the Welsh Folk-Song Society- 1914. The first is the version in Celtic Review (posted in this thread above) but the other versions I can't get and have only been able to get the notes to one version: "Sung by Miss Davies, Aberystwyth, January, 1911. Her mother used to sing it when a child about 80 years ago, — she had in all probability learnt it from her grandmother." — Miss Jennie Williams, Aberystwyth."

Here's a link to the article: https://books.google.com/books?id=IFsvAQAAIAAJ&q=%22O+Fy+Mab+Anwyl,%22&dq=%22O+Fy+Mab+Anwyl,%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjkybeWtszc Since it's "snippet view" you can find parts of the article and texts if you know what to search for. You can pull entire versions-- as I've pulled the entire first version from there but it's a version we already have in this thread.

Can anyone find a "read" version, either on Google or internet archive?
