D. "THE FALSE-HEARTED KNIGHT." Fragment, from the singing of Mrs. Sidney Brockway, Bonny River, Charlotte County, New Brunswick, September. 1928. Melody recorded by Mr. George Herzog. Mixolydian Mode.
1 In London lived a false-hearted knight,
A false-hearted knight was he;
. . .
. . .
2 "O, give me some of your mother's gold
And-some of Your father's fee,
And lead me to your father's stable door
Where the horses stand twenty and three."
O, he mounted her on the milk-white steed
And he on the dapple gray,
And so they rode from her father's house
[Three hours before it was day].
Mrs. Brockway could recall no more just then, but said the girl was named Nancy.
