Elijah Wald also mentions "...A version [of "Yellow Yorlin"] recorded in
New Hampshire referred to 'a bird I call my little yorkla harlin'..."
but there is no reference. I know of no printed versions of the Yellow
Yorlin' outside of the original "Merry Muses of Caledonia" in 1799.
The reprints from the 1800s omit this song. So I am very curious to
find a field collected text of "Yellow Yorlin'" or at least a reference
to the song in the 1800's.
