00:00T'was in the merry month of May, when all gay flowers were blooming, sweet William on his

00:24Ladies, where did you learn that song?

00:26My granny gave it to me.

00:30What on earth are you doing in such a dreadful place?

00:32Great discovery.

00:34Old English ballads.

00:36And I am going to be the first to publish them now.

00:39Nice and loud.

00:39My intention is to exalt the fine music of these mountains.

00:43It means to lift up.

00:44You mean exploit.

00:46It means to steal.

00:48First of us are calling lumber companies coming in here, now they want to take our music too.

01:12I'm not risking life and living.

01:34I'm a jinx for a woman, Millie.

01:35I'm not your average woman.

01:36When I first come to this country in 1849, I saw many fair lovers.

01:54You made most of us feel real proud.

01:56I have never heard such, such singing.

02:07Stranger and a long way from home.
