Here Stands a Lady- (Shrop) 1885 Burne
[From Shropshire Folk-Lore II 1885, p.509 by Charlotte Burne who calls it "another version of Sally Water(Walters)" since the second part is taken from it. She also says, "See the ballad of the Disdainful Lady," a version of Madam also published in the same edition. In the notes for Disdainful Lady she says, "the first stanza slightly resembles a game-rhyme given ante (p. 509), and one in Folio Lore Journal, Vol. I. p. 387."

Here Stands a Lady- collected in Berrington by Charlotte Burne
Chorus. 'Here stands a lady on a mountain,
Who she is I do not know;
AU as she wants is gold and silver;
All as she wants is a nice young man.
Choose you east, and choose you west.
Choose you the one as you love best.
(She chooses, and chorus continues,)
Now Sally's got married we wish her good joy,
First a girl and then a boy;
Twelve months a'ter a son and da'ter,
Pray young couple, kiss together.
