Subject: Lyr Req: False Young Man (kentucky)
I encountered a lovely verse in josiah h. combs' "folk songs of te southern united states" but cannot find the rest of the song
anywhere:
"I never will believe what another boy says
let his eyes be dark or brown
unless he's upon a high gallows top
saying, "love, i'd rather come down."
what are the rest of the words?
