Old Folk tune - have the music for a dulcimer but would love to have the lyrics too.

Jean Ritchie does one named "Pretty Betty Martin."

TuneArch has a page on Pretty Betty Brown, though it's pretty desolate. I wasn't able to find any recordings of even an instrumental song, unless it's under an alternate name.

That's "Little Betty Brown", but I don't know if it's what is being requested. (The kid's ain't bad.)

PS: cnd, I left a link for you on the Tennessee thread.
