Thread Name: Origins: Mattie Groves - What year?
Subject: RE: Mattie Groves - What year?
Don't know if this has been mentioned before on any other thread; but talking of the young man's name {Mattie Groves, Musgrave, Musgray &c}, Paul Carter used in the 1950s to sing what he said was a Canadian version where the young man is called The Young Leboux, which doesn't appear to be even a variant of the usual name[s]. Anyone come across that nomenclature? I forget what the lord & lady were called, but I think it was something akin to Barnard.
