Summary
Recited fragments of a [courtship?] song in which the singer passes the evening in the company of the 'Broughton Derry Lass'; he asks her name before he leaves her, which she reveals as 'Sonny Graham' [contributor admits that this doesn't make sense].
Item Notes
4 verses of 4 lines, except verse 3 with 2 lines.
There is undoubtedly some confusion in this version, as testified by the contributor; 'Sonny Graham' is more likely to be the name of the singer than his 'Derry Lass'.
Broughton Mains was located just west of Garliestown in Whithorn.
