Sharp B was from Addy Crane and in 1932 EFSSA only the first stanza is given- the rest is from Sharp's MS. Mike Yate's wrote about Flag Pond and I'm including a bit of his article:
"Returning from Higgin's Creek on 1st September, 1916, Sharp and Karpeles called on other singers, such as twenty-one year old Mrs Addy Crane, Sylvaney Ramsey and Mr & Mrs James Gabriel Coates. Mrs Addy Crane also gave Sharp a tune for The Daemon Lover as well as tunes for Lord Thomas and Fair Ellinor, Goodbye Sweet Jane, Brisk Young Lover and Awake, Awake. She was also able to give complete versions of The Lily of the West, The Shooting of His Dear, The Rejected Lover and what seems to be a song that was unique to her, called The Discontented Husband.
On Saturday, 2nd September Sharp and Karpeles again called on Mr & Mrs Coates during the morning. It rained for most of the time. After lunch they tried to find Mrs Crane's husband, Hezekiah, a possible singer, but he was away from home.
On Sunday, 3rd September, Sharp had a lie-in, not having breakfast until 'half-an-hour later', at 7am! He spent the morning copying out song tunes before walking over to the Crane household. Sharp spells the surname as 'Crane', although most families in the area use the spelling 'Crain'. It would seem that Sharp had been told that Hezekiah sang a song which, so Sharp believed, was a version of the ballad The Wife Wrapt in Wether's Skin. Hezekiah was in when they called, but the song turned out to be 'a very moderate version of My Boy Billy!' But all was not lost, as Hezekiah also gave Sharp versions of three other songs, William Hall, The Brisk Young Lover and Awake, Awake."
B. [Mollie Van] Shooting of His Dear; Sharp MS 3356 additional text. Sung by Mrs. ADDY CRANE at Flag Pond, Tenn., Aug. 31, 1916.
Come all you young men Who handle a gun Beware of your shooting Between the moon and sun[1].
Mollie Van was a-walking When the showers came down, And under a beech tree For the showers to shun.
Jimmy Ramson was a-hunting. Was a-hunting one night. He shot his own true love, O he shot her for a swan.
Jimmy ran to her, But he found she was dead. A fountain of tears In her bosom he shed.
I've shot that fair lady I loved as mu life. I always intended, For to make her my wife.
Up stepped Jimmy's father, With his hair turning grey, Says: "Stay at home Jimmy And don't run away."
Stay at home, Jimmy Till your trial draws near, The laws of your country, Sure will bring you clear.
On the day of Jimmy's trial, Molly ghost did appear, With judges and juries Jimmy Ransom came clear.
Go bring them all to me, And place them in a row, Molly Van's all amid us[2] Like a fountain of snow.
