Peggy Seeger sings the traditional English ballad 'Young Collins' (Child #85) from her 1960s Prestige album 'The Best Of Peggy Seeger'. Interesting imagery in this song: death is foretold by "the stars from heaven came a'twinkling down to the place where Young Collins jumped in" and, of course, the white marble stone. Images for this song could be a problem, so I transcribed the lyrics and mostly show these as the song is sung. In her album liner notes, Seeger says that the song lyrics are from Cox' "Folk-Songs of the South".
