Lady Marg'ret- Sung by Frankie Duff of Decoy, Knott County, Kentucky and recorded by William H. Tallmadge 6-20-68.
1. Sweet William rose one May morning
And dressed himself all in blue;
. . .
. . .
2. I know I don't have Lady Margret's love
I'm sure she doesn't [love] me,
But tomorrow mornin' at eight o'clock
Lady Margret my bride shall see.
3. Lady Margret was sitting in her [bower window]
All combin' down her hair,
When who did she spy but Sweet William and his bride,
. . .
4. She threw away her ivory comb,
Bound up her hair [in silk]
And she stepped out of her [ ] window
Never to return no more.
