Lord Ronald- Jane Small (Ohio) pre1939 Eddy A w/music
"Where hae ye been huntin', Lord Ronald, my son,
Where hae ye been huntin', my jolly young man?"
"In yon green woods mother, make my bed soon,
For I'm wery, weary huntin', and fain would lie down."
"What got ye from your sweetheart, Lord Ronald, my son,
What got ye from your sweetheart, my jolly young man?"
"I got deadly poison, mother, make my bed soon,
For life it is a burden, and soon I'll lay't down."
