There were many requests for it via the newspaper. In 1906, after they’d collected a number of versions in the North-East, Greig remarked that “the song has been traditional [in Scotland] for a while” Also collected in 1909 by H.M. Belden for the Missouri Folk-Lore Society.
Here are the lyrics of the version by The Carter Family Once I loved your fond affection all my hopes on you was spent till a dark eyed girl persuaded and you cared no more for me Go on and leave me if you wish to never let me cross your mind, In your heart you love another never on earth will I call you mine
