75. [Lord Thomas and Fair Ellender]- Sung by Mrs. Julie Williams, Hot Springs, N.C., July 27, 1917. Again the "Daemon Lover" (Child No. 243) and "John Hardy" form of the tune.
Lord Thomas he went to Fair Ellender's gate,
He knocked both loud and clear,
No one was ready but fair Ellender herself
To rise and let him come in
To rise and let him come in
To rise and let him come in.
