Thread Name: Lyr Add: Bonnie Annie (Child 24)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: BONNIE ANNIE (Child 24)
Child mentioned that 24A was taken from Kinloch's Ancient Scottish Ballads, but did not give the date, 1827. The Traditional Ballad Index gives the date but not the title. The new edition of the Penguin book, "Classic English Folk Songs" revised by Malcolm, puts the two together in the revised Lloyd note (Am I the only one not bright enough to put the date and title together?).

Bronson's Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads is out of sight- part sets $400 approx. for 1-2 of the 4 volumes and $875 for 3 vols. of the 4. Some 18 versions of "Bonnie Annie" in this set, acc. to the Trad. Ballad Index.
