Barbrie Allen- Bays (CA-VA) 1934 Bronson

[My title. Single stanza with music from Bronson No. 56, TTCB- II, 1962. I wonder if this Bays is related to (Carter Family- Sara) Bays from Virginia (part of the family moved to CA around 1930)?

[Barbrie Allen] Collected by the Bronson. Sung by Robert Bays, a native of Scott County, Va., at Camp Nelson, Calif., June 27, 1934.

'Twas earlie, earlie in the Spring
The small buds they were swelling;
I fell in love with a charming girl,
Her name 'twas Barbrie Allen.
