Susan Johns of Austin, Texas, to Cray, 6/22/96, as sung in SCA and Renaissance Fair circles:

                                                                     SONG
          Johnny Be Fair  :   Author Unknown


       Oh, Johnny be fair and Johnny be fine and wants me for to wed.
       And I would marry Johnny but me father up and said,
       "I'm sad to tell you, daughter, what your mother never knew,
       But Johnny is a son of mine, and so is kin to you."

       Oh, Robin be fair, and .....

       Oh, Sean be fair, and  .....

       ( Change names as needed, repeat as many times as you want. )

       You never saw a girl so sad and sorry as I was,
       The boys in town are all my kin and my father is the cause.
       If life should thus continue I will die a single miss,
       So I will go to Mother and complain to her of this.

       "Well, daughter, haven't I taught you to forgive and to forget,
       And if your father sowed his oats, well, still you needn't fret.
       Your father may be father to all the boys, but still,
       He's not the one who sired you, so marry who you will."
