A. Bangry Rewey- Sung by Mrs. Tom Rice at Big Laurel NC, Aug. 16, 1916.

1.   Bangry Rewey a-courting did ride,
A sword and pistol by his side,
Cambo key, quiddle down, quill-o-quon.

2   Bangry rode to the wild boar's den
And there spied the bones of a thousand men,
Cambo key, quiddle down, quill-o-quon.

3   Then Bangry drew his wooden[1] knife
To spear the wild boar of his life, 
Cambo key, quiddle down, quill-o-quon.

1. woodsman's knife (see Davis C)
