Summary

Fragments of a song from the north of England:

Have you seen owt o my bonnie lad,
And are ye sure he's weel o?
He's gien o'er land wi a stick in his hand,
He's gien tae moor the keel-o.

Yes, I've seen your bonnie lad,
Upon the sea I spied him.
His grave is green but not wi grass;
Thou'lt never lie aside him.
