Reference CodeAFC 1972/001, Cylinder 132 09:29

Scope and Content Notes

Genre song - Child ballad

Difficult to tell exactly where this item starts. 'Spence' appears against this title on cylinder slip and cylinder index; not on disc index or index card. Sounds much the same as preceding, so this name may be a clue. But the only song attributed to Helen Spence in the catalogue is 'The Laird of Drum' and there is no transcription of it, which may mean there is no recording. This is therefore not a clear identifier.
