C. Where Was You Bred? - Sung by Lloyd A. Sandford, East Walton, Nova Scotia.
"O it's where was you bred or where was you born,"
"In Scotland's town where I was born,
Oh Scotland town being my native land
Until I became a roving lad."
"'Where did you get it, by sea or by land,
Or did you get it from a drowned man's hand?"
"I neither got it by sea nor by land
Neither from a drowned man's hand,
But I got this ring from a true love so gay
And I give it back on her wedding day."
