Pretty Polly- Dorah Seagle (NC) 1918 Sharp MS
[My title. One early stanza with music similar to Gosport broadside text from Sharp's MS.
Sharp's Diary: First call on the Helmes (pronounced Emes) but as their son is going to Berea they were too upset to sit down & sing. Then to Mrs Seagle who gave me some rather nice songs and afterwards to Mrs Early who also gave me some.
