Thread Name: Lyr Req: Gude Wallace – DT missing lines
Subject: Gude Wallace – DT missing lines
Hello, all! I looked up the Child ballad #157, "Gude Wallace", in the Digital Tradition files but the DT version has two lines missing from it. I can't find any other website that has the lyrics to it at all. I'm wondering if anyone out there has a book or other resource with the complete ballad.

Here's a link to the DT version: http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=2448

You'll see that the 6th stanza reads:

"And when he cam to yon wee Ostler house,
He bad bendicite be there;
....
.... "

Anybody know what those last two lines are??
