Subject: RE: Lyr Req: jean redpath's gypsy laddie #200
Thank you, Mary Humphreys, but I think the line starts with "I" and there is an "r" sound after the "g", and she's talking about "a lord": it seems to compare the two conditions, being with a lord and being surrounded by the gypsies, more than referring to her own wedded lord. In the other line, I can't hear "this", maybe it could be "taenight", or something like that.

I take the chance to ask you to please go on recording, especially the big ballads: all your recordings I do appreciate a lot. R
