Lady Marget- Cannady (VA) 1918 Sharp MS
[My title. One stanza with music from Sharp MS., 4495/. Bronson TTCB, No. 57, 1962.
The name Margaret is not sung "Mar-ga-ret" in three syllables but is sung "Mar-gret" in two syllables. Titles or names spelled "Margret" or "Marg'ret" are simple reflection of the way the name is really sung. In some renditions the two syllable name has further deteriorated into "Margot" or "Marget."

[Lady Marget] Sung by Mrs. S. V. Cannady, Endicott, Va., August 22, 1918.
I know nothing of Lady Marget's love,
Lady Marget knows nothing of me,
But before tomorrow at eight o'clock,
Lady Marget my bride shall be.
