'The Green Wedding' ('Katharine Jaffray') (Child 221) sung by George Taylor, Grole, Hermitage Bay, Newfoundland, 23 July 1930.
'Tis of a man lived in the East,
A man of high degree;
And he came a courtin' this pretty girl,
A jolly lass was she.
'Twas of a lord lived in the West,
He had one only son,
And he came a-courtin' this country girl,
And he thought her heart [he] had won.
