Subject: RE: when was the Bonny ship the diamond lost
There's a very similar song, perhaps a precursor, in the Greig-Duncan collection, if I recall correctly. I know there's been some discussion as to whether Lloyd collected it or actually wrote it, but I remember hearing the song on the Greig-Duncan tape (which, unfortunately, was borrowed) and thinking, ah ha! this proves Lloyd didn't write it. ('Though he may have "improved" it.)
