Subject: RE: Origins: The Silk Merchant's Daughter
The Indians also appear in Randolph, Ozark Folksongs, vol. 1, no. 43. Similar to the version in Perrow and DT.Was there an American broadside?

One day as she was walking on one even tide,
A viewing of the levee, two Indians she spied,
Two blood-thirsty heathen, you've often heard them say,
Resolved to take this fair maid's life away.
