Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Proud Maisrie/Bonny Maisrie/Lady Margaret
I sing a ballad called Lady Maisry that was collected in Beaminster in England from a singer called Sam Gregory (I think!) It starts
The young men of the North country
Have all wooing gone
To win the love of Lady Maisry
But of them she would have none
It is a fantastic ballad with a driving tune that carries the story along
I can supply more info if anyone is interested
