Lady Margret- Bagley (KY) 1917 Sharp MS
[My title. One stanza with music from Sharp MS., 3170/. Bronson TTCB, No. 18, 1962.
The name Margaret is not sung "Mar-ga-ret" in three syllables but is sung "Mar-gret" in two syllables. Titles or names spelled "Margret" or "Marg'ret" are simple reflection of the way the name is really sung. In some renditions the two syllable name has further deteriorated into "Margot" or "Marget."

[Lady Margret] - Sung by Mrs. Bagley, Beattyville, Ky. September 5, 1917.
I know nothing of Lady Margret's love
I know she don't love me;
But tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock
Lady Margret my bride shall see.
