THE CRUEL BROTHER—E

[_]

Notes and Queries, 4th S., v, 105. From Forfarshire, W. F.

There were three sisters playin at the ba,
Wi a hech hey an a lillie gay
There cam a knicht an lookt ower the wa'.
An the primrose springs sae sweetly.
Sing Annet, an Marret, an fair Maisrie,
An the dew hangs i the wood, gay ladie.
