Lady on the Mountain, dated May 1905 from Highfields, Blackham Sussex; collector: Gilchrist Anne G.
"There stands a lady on the mountain,
Who she is I do not know;
All she wants is gold and silver;
All she wants is a nice young man.
Please to choose a nice young man.
Now young couple you must be good,
And make your husband chop the wood.
