Thread Name: Lyr Req: Infidel's Daughter
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Infidel's Daughter
The Roud Folk Song Index currently lists one example only; no Roud number, so presumably not seen.
The Infidel's Daughter (first line, Father I am surely dying)
Virginia Folklore Soc. Coll. (Univ. Virginia, Charlotteville)
(Details from Arthur Kyle Davis, Folk-Songs of Virginia: A Descriptive Index and Classification of Material Collected under the Auspices of the Virginia Folklore Society.. Durham: Duke University Press, 1949 (rep. New York: AMS Press, Inc., 1965) p.299)
Performer: Mrs Hazel Collins, Salem, Virginia, USA, 25 July 1935.
Collector: Alfreda M Peel
Text only. The book, as a descriptive index, may not quote the full text; but I haven't seen it. I think it was again reprinted in 1998 by Pelican Press.
