King's Daughter- Jonathan Carter (NJ) c.1860 Barry JAFL; Folk-Songs of the North Atlantic States Version G; Bronson 139
[Bronson 139 includes date and informants name, no text. Reprinted from Phillips Barry's 1908 book, Folk-Songs of the North Atlantic States- Version G. Also in Folk-Music in America by Phillips Barry; The Journal of American Folklore, Vol. 22, No. 83 (Jan. - Mar., 1909), pp. 72-81. I assume there is no text since it does not appear in Broson 139 and he surely examined the manuscript.

In this instance the change is a violent one, from AEolian (or Dorian) to Ionian in the second part of the melody.
