My parents raised me tenderly they
Had no child but me. my mind was
bent on gambling with them it did not
agree so I became a roving son it
grieves my heart full sore I left
My aged parents dear to see them

There was a welthy gentleman
Who then lived in those parts he
Had a lovely daughter and I had
gained her heart and she was noble
minded to haughty full and fair
with Cloumbus fairest daughter
She truly would compair.

soon to cross the main I said will
you be faithful till I return a
