Hi,
Interesting version Steve. The last part except for the final stanza is, of course, 74. Fair Margaret and Sweet William.
The beginning is "A-Roving" and "Blackest Crow" "True Lover's Farewell" songs.
I don't think this tells the ballad of 76. Lass of Roch Royal. One verse gets close- the one about the mother and her dying.
TY
I'll use it tho,
Richie
