D. The Brown Girl- From Mrs. Betty Mace Perrysville, Ohio. 1939 Eddy D
The brown girl she has houses and lands,
Fair Elinor she has none,
Therefore I charge you with my blessing
To bring the brown girl home.
She dressed her maidens all in white,
Herself she dressed in green,
And every town that she went through
They took her to be some queen.
