Bonny Blue-eyed Nancy

How Can I Live at the Top of the Mountai[n]

... and DT file  BONNY BLUE-EYED NANCY

The DT file acknowledges no source, but most texts quoted seem to derive from Elizabeth Cronin, though not necessarily directly; alterations have been made. The second thread indicated above also contains the earliest known text, noted in Scotland around 1826.

The way to find things here when you aren't sure of the title is to use the onsite search engine ("lyrics and knowledge search" at the top of every page) to look for a key phrase.
