Transcription
[Most of recording is MacArthur and Atwood talking about music and the song. Singing begins at 1:46, but Atwood cannot recall lyrics]

There was a fair maid dwelling

And her name was Barabara Allen
In Charlotte-town where I was born
There was a fair maid dwelling

And her name was Barabara Allen
