Constant Farmer's Son- sung by Jack Barnard of Bridgwater Somerset on 9 Apr 1907. Collector: Sharp, Cecil J.
O Mary on her pillow lay,
She dreamed a dreadful dream,
She dreamed she saw her Willie dear,
In some crystal stream.
She arose put on her clothes,
Her love to seek did run
on yonder field she did unpeal
Her constant farmer's son.
