62. [Fair Ellinor] Sung by Mrs. Geno Guillams, at St. Peter's School Calloway, Va.,  August 15, 1918.

O mother, O mother, come riddle the sport,
Come riddle it all as one,
Must I marry Fair Ellinor
Or bring the Brown girl home,
Or bring the Brown girl home,
Or bring the Brown girl home,
The brown girl she has house and land,
Fair Ellinor she has none.
