Lord Lovel-
Sung by Mrs. Pearl Brewer Pocahontas, Arkansas. August 28, 1958  

He hadn't been gone but a year and one day,
Till queerest feelings came over him
About his loving Nancee.

He rode and he rode till he came to London town,
There the people were all mourning around.

Who is it dead? Lord Lovel said
Who is it dead? said he
His youngest sister came to the door
Saying, They called her your loving Nancee
