A song often found in tradition in America, so there are a lot of different versions. The DT text, JENNY JENKINS, was taken from a record by Margaret MacArthur, and is a collation of two variants in Vermont Folksongs and Ballads (Helen Hartness Flanders and Alice Brown, 1931) rather than a traditional set in its own right. The tune and one verse were recorded by Mrs. Alice Brown, July 24, 1930, in Bethel, Vermont, from the singing of Mrs. Susan Chase; to this, Margaret MacArthur has added the bulk of the other text given, reprinted fron The Green Mountain Songster (1823), using Mrs. Chase's interleaved refrain rather than the older one, which is quite different. The DT doesn't give the tune, but I've made a midi from notation in the book for future inclusion; here is a temporary link to it:Jenny Jenkins (midi): Mrs. Chase's tune.
A recording made by Sidney Robertson Cowell of Warde Ford in Central Valley, California in 1938 can be found at California Gold: (Library of Congress). I can provide a link to a transcription of the text
but it isn't cross-referenced to the audio recording, and so the following link is to a temporary file which will probably expire very quickly. You may have to go to the main page (1st. link above) and browse through the tune titles until you find it. How annoying. Jinnie Jenkins (audio: perhaps)
Here is a short set from North Carolina (1918):
WILL YOU WEAR RED?
(Noted by Cecil Sharp from Mrs. Delie Hughes at Cane River, Burnsville, N.C., in 1918)
O my love, will you wear red?
Will you wear red, Gilly Jenkin?
I won't wear red, for it's the colour of my head.
I'll buy me a dillow, wear a double over dill,
I'll buy me a dillow, wear a daisy.
From English Folk-Songs from the Southern Appalachians, 1932. Until it reaches the Mudcat Midi Pages, a midi made from the notation in that book can be heard via the South Riding Folk Network site:
