Thread Name: Lyr Req: Brisk Young Country Lady
Subject: RE: It's of a brisk young country lady
That's quite an obscure one. Two sets in The Journal of the Folk Song Society, vol V, (issue 19) 1915, pp 128-130; one in A E Gillington, Songs of the Open Road, 1911, pp 10-11. The third example is an odd thing, grafted onto part of The Brake of Briars (Bruton Town) as a rather incongruous prologue. Number 2645 in the Roud Folk Song Index.

Where did you hear about it? I can post a version, but it won't be for a day or so.
