E. "Molly Bawn" -Sent in March 1928 by Mrs Nellie Fogg, Dover Foxcroft, Maine who heard it as a child but could remember only one stanza.
Young Jimmie being a-fowling with his dog and his gun
He shot lovely Mollie at the setting of the sun
her apron being around her, he shot her for a fawn
But alas! unto his grief, it was his own Molly Bawn.
