K. [Milk-White Steed]- Sung by Mr. TILFORD CREECH at Pine Mountain, Harlan Co., Ky., Aug. 30, 1917
Pentatonic. Mode 2.
He mounted her on a milk-white steed,
And himself on an iron grey;
He swung his bugle 'round his neck,
And so went riding a way.
He swung his bugle round his neck,
And so went riding a way.
