Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: Auld Robin Grey was written in 1771 by Lady Ann Bernard whose husband was librarian to George III. It was printed on the ballad sheet and sung by the more intelligent of the rustics. The following version is not identical with that in some collections, the chief difference being in the last line of each stanza, which is shorter. I copied it from an old broadside which I found at Latton, where the piece was sung by the Keylock family.
