Child Ballads - Lyrics

Child 102
Willie and Earl Richard's Daughter
Version C

Kinloch Manuscripts, V, 330 f, the last two stanzas of 'Douglass Dale.'

Narrative

1   Mony ane speaks o grass, o grass,
And mony mare o corn,
And mony ane sings o Robin Heed
Kens little whare he was born.
2   He was born in good green wood,
At the fut o yon olive tree;
His father was a knight's ae son,
And his mother a lady free.
