Subject: RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4

Hi,

Here's Greig-Duncan C which was taken from Buchan singers. Single stanza with music.

C. "Oh Mak' My Bed Easy." Sung by George Riddell, shoemaker and fiddler from Rosehearty, Aberdeenshire. Collected Greig about 1907.

Oh mak' my bed easy
Oh mak' my bed soon
For oh but I'm weary
And fain wad lie doon.
