Lord Lovell and Lady Ounceabel- Hayes (MA) 1904 Barry C
[No text given. From: Traditional Ballads in New England III by Phillips Barry; The Journal of American Folklore, Vol. 18, No. 71 (Oct. - Dec., 1905), pp. 291-304.
This is from the third and last part of Barry's Traditional Ballads in New England. All three parts were published in 1905 in three consecutive editions of the JOAFL. This part has some additional variants of ballads in the first two parts in the Addenda. These early ballads are fully preserved because Barry recognized that including the tune whenever possible was as important as including lyrics.
