Mick Pearce (MCP) Lyr Add: 'Adapting' ballad texts (15) RE: Lyr Add: 'Adapting' ballad texts 30 Sep 18

In a version from Charles O'Boyle referenced by me and Malcolm Douglas here Lyr Add: Lady Margaret (Sweet William's Ghost the corresponding lines are:


  "Did you bring me the gold, dear Willy, did you bring me the lace?
  Did you bring me the bonny brown dress, my fair body to embrace?"

  "I brought no gold, dear Margaret", he said, "and I forgot the lace,
  But now I carry my winding sheet through many's the dreary place.
