Hi,

Two end stanzas with music: James Madison Carpenter Collection, JMC/1/11/15, Disc Side 015, 02:58

Douglas Tragedy- sung by Jessie Davidson of Willow Cottage, Tugnet, Speybay, Scotland c. 1931.

Lord William was buried in St. Mary's choir,
Lady Margaret in Shrewbury choir,
On Lady Margaret's breist grew a red, red rose,
And on Lord William's a briar.

They twa met and they twa plat,
Sae fain as they would be near,
That all true lovers that come this way,
They were twa true lovers dear,
They were twa true lovers dear.
