The Lass of Roch Royal- recalled by George Edwards as sung by his grandfather of Seaton, East Riding, Yorkshire, England; October 16, 1934.

"Or who will my children's father be?"

"Who will comb my bonnie hair
And from whence will come the comb?"

Fair Isabelle of Rock Royal,
She dreaming as she lay,

[Her lover's name was Gregory']
