THE CRUEL BROTHER—D
[_]
Notes and Queries, 1st S., vi, 53, 2d S., v, 171. As sung by a lady who was a native of County Kerry, Ireland.

There were three ladies playing at ball,Farin-dan-dan and farin-dan-dee
There came a white knight, and he wooed them all.
With adieu, sweet honey, wherever you be

He courted the eldest with golden rings,And the others with many fine things.
And adieu, etc.
