[A note and text transcription from the same recording can be found in the Max Hunter Collection at maxhunter.missouristate.edu titled “The Rose of Naideen”]
[The first verse is mistranscribed in the Hunter Collection and should be this:
It’s raining and it’s hailing
And the moon won’t give light
My horses can’t travel
Those dark roads tonight]
