| Description: |
A song of emigration.
I am a youth thats inclined to ramble,
To some foreign country I mean to steer,
I am loath to part from my friends and comrades,
And my dear sweatheart, whom I loved dear.
But theres one of those I do most admire,
One her Ill think when I m far away,
For since fates decreed I am resolved to part her,
And try my fortune in Americay
So farewell darling since I must leave you,
I place great dependence on your constancy,
That no other young man may gain your favour,
Or change your mind when I am oer the sea.
For although the seas do separate us,
And in between us they do rise and fall,
If fortune favours me youll find your Jamie,
Returning homeward from Americay.
Oh Jamie dear do you remember,
When I sat with you for manys the hour,
And my young fancy away was carried,
And the bees hummed around on each opening flower,
But when youre crossing the western ocean.
The maid that loved you, youll neer mind ava,
And youll scarce eer think upon the maids of Erin,
For youll find strange sweethearts in America.
Oh Mary dear, I dont disemble,
For to all other fair maids Ill prove untrue,
And if you think that these are fales promise,
Ill leave these vows as a pledge to you.
That what I have may prove unsuccessful,
And fortune prove to me a slippery ball,
That a favoring gale it may ner blow on me,
If forsake you in America.
And to conclude and to end these verses,
May God protect this young female fair,
And keep her from every wild embarrassment,
And of my darling take the greatest care.
For shes slow to anger and of kind disposition,
And her cheeks like roses in June do blaw,
In my nightly slumbers when eer I think on her,
I would court her vision in America. |
