Songs represented herein range from traditional Child Ballads, traditional English and Scottish ballads as well as their American variants, to 19th century popular music to musical compositions of local origin.</p>
<p>Biographical Note. Isaac Garfield Greer (4 December 1881 - 24 November 1967) was a history and government professor for Appalachian State Teacher's College from 1910 to 1932. A native of Watauga County, North Carolina, he was born to Philip and Mary Greer of Zionville and initially worked as a public school teacher and principal until he was hired at Appalachian State Teacher's College.

Lilly, Dear
Oh, Lilly dear, it grieves me,
The tale I have to tell
Old master sends me roaming,
So Lilly, fare you well
Oh, fare you well, my true love
Farewell old Tennessee.
Then let me weep for you love,
But do not weep for me.
Chorus.
Farewell, forever to old Tennessee,
Farewell my Lilly dear, don't weep for me.
I'm going to roam this wide world,
In lands I've never hoed,
With nothing but my banjo,
To cheer me on the road
For when I'm sad and weary
I'll make the banjo play
To 'mind me of my true love
When I am far away.
Chorus.
I wake up in the morning
And walk out on the farm,
And Lily am a darling
She takes me by the arm,
We wander through the clover
Down by the river side
I tell her that I love her
And she must be my bride.
Chorus
Oh, Lily, dear its mournful,
To leave you here along,
You'll smile before I leave you,
And weep when I am gone,
The sun can never shine love
Too bright for you and me,
As when I worked beside you
In good old Tennessee.
Chorus.
Farewell My Lilly Dear
