Steve please email me Delorme's version at Richiematt@aol.com

Coffin doesn't use Lily Delorme's version in his article which is surprising.

I have Belle Richards.

I know about the Hamilton rewrite circa 1733 "Busk Ye" and I thought that was the reason for Roud giving two entries. What are the other rewrites?

Also what is the difference between 214 and 215 (esp. A B C)? Is it the the name Willie? or the "Willie's fair" verse?

TY
