The last two versions of Child 2 are fragments, the first is missing the opening line, while the second is scribbled and has three disjointed stanzas:

1. James Madison Carpenter Collection, JMC/1/8/1/K, p. 12026

"Every rose grows" sung by Mrs Annie Morrison from The Hill, Evanston, Scotland (p.04608/p.05478), 1931 with music.

Every rose grows bonnie and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea sand
Before ye can be a true lover of mine.

2. Carpenter MSS Reel 4, Box 2, Packet II. listed incorrectly as Roud 21093.

"True Lover of Mine" George McDonald, from The Hill, Evanton, near Inverness, Scotland, 1931.

Ye maun ploo me an acre of land
As every rose bids bonny in time
Between the salt water and the sea sand,
Before ye can be a true lover of min,

He maun sew for me a cameric shirt
And bleach it on the green,
Where grass never grew nor rain never fell

She maun ploo for me an acre of land
And turn it over with a peacock's feather
