Fair Ellender- Proffitt (NC) 1959 Warner

[From Traditional American Folk Songs. This single stanza (with music) was collected from Frank Proffitt in 1959. There apparently is a recording of Proffitt's version, I've not been able to secure it.

Fair Ellender- Proffitt (NC) 1959 Warner

The brown girl has both houses and lands,
Fair Ellender, she has none,
If you should never want for gold,
Go bring the brown girl home,
Go bring the brown girl home.
