No one's mentioned, "Last night there were four Marys?....." Mind the verse:
Last night I dressed Queen Mary
And put on her braw silk gown,
And a' the thanks I'm tae get for it
Is a-hangin in Edinboro Town.
My sister Edna and I sing that on Youtube, if anyone wants to hear the Kentucky variant! It was known and sung in our family.
