voiceCollected by Billie Lou Ratliff For Mary C. Parler Transcribed by Frances Majors Sung by Emmett Winn Westville, Oklahoma October 25, 1958 Reel 267, Item 10 Young Charlotte (Fragment) Young Charlotte lived on a mountain side In a wild and lonely spot; There were no dwellings for three miles wide Except her father's cot. And yet on a many a winter’s night, Young swains were gathered there. Her father kept a social board, And she was very fair.
