Subject: RE: Lyr req. Trip o'er the mountain

Two versions, one with music, are given in "Sam Henry's Songs of the People," pp. 459-460.
"I'm From Over the Mountain" was printed in 1925 in "The Northern Constitution" as "A song of an elopement." Source not given. With music.
The other version, "I'm from over the Mountain," printed at the same time, was from John Marshall, Glasgow, from his mother (Ireland), c. 1900.
