Hi,

Two stanzas with music from James Madison Carpenter Collection, JMC/1/5/1/Q, p. 08577

Lord Randle- sung by Mrs Jeanie T. Durward of Viewfield, St Fergus, Aberdeenshire; dated 1932.

"Where have you been, Lord Randle, my son?
Where have you been, my handsome young man?"
"I'se been a- huntin', mother make my bed soon,
I'm weary wis huntin' and fain wad lie doon."

"What got ye for dinner, Lord Randle, my son?
What got ye for dinner, my handsome young man?"
"I got eels boiled in brew, mother make my bed soon,
I'm weary wis huntin' and fain wad lie doon.
