Subject: RE: Origins: The Devil's NINE Questions
At Berea College, I learned the same words and tune that Clayton and Ritchie sing, here, but the last line is "and you're not the weaver's bonny," which the woman answers back: "and I AM the weaver's bonny." It certainly fits the tune better than "the crow flies over the white oak tree."
