One night as pretty Polly did lay on her bed
There came a queer notion that run through her head.
Neither father nor mother can make her false prove
“I’ll dress like a soldier and follow my love.”
So early next morning pretty Polly did arise with a case of bright
pistols and a sword by her side,
On her fathers best gilding pretty Polly did ride.
She went to the stable, she viewed all around,
She picked her out one that could measure the ground.
With her long yaller hair, down her head it did hang,
In every degree it looked like some young man.
She rode till she came to the first English town
The first one she met was the captain for Polly’s true love.
“To lie with the captain is a dangerous thing,
Although I’m a soldier from Washington came.”
“Your waist is too slim and slender, your fingers are too small
Your cheeks are too red and rosy to face a cannon ball.”
“I know my waist is slim and slender, my fingers very small,
It would not daunt me to see ten thousand fall.”
This battle it was ended, she took a circle round,
Among the dead and dying her darling love she found.
She picked him up all in her arms and carried him to a London town,
She sent unto a doctor to heal his mortal wound.
Thus couple they got married so well they did agree
This couple they got married and why not you and me.

‘Tis thee and not the roses, dear, that I have learned to love,
Though now thine eyes are bright and clear, and gentle as a dove.
Yet should thine eyes grow dim with age I’ll love thee all the way,
For ‘tis the head and not the heart that shall grow old and gray.

And I shall love thee more and more as years shall pass away,
We’ll know each other better, dear, when we are old and gray.
I love thy hair so bonny brown, thy smiles that just meet mine,
Thy little manners all thine own, but ‘tis because they’re thine.
And when they’re thine no longer, dear, then I can truly say,
It is the head and not the heart that has grown old and gray.
Chorus:
And when through all the changing years I see thy patient smile,
A faith that smiles e’en through its tears that nothing can beguile.
Then I shall closer cling to thee, my tongue shall truly say,
It is the head and not the heart that has grown old and gray.
Chorus:
And as we journey down the hill and near the setting sun,
The wheel just stopping in the mill, our life’s work almost done,
I’ll ask for strength to guide thee, dear, and help all the way,

Oh ,Lily, fare you well.
I am sorry to leave you,
I loved you so well.

To live with his Mother,
But I would not go.
We was promised to get married
Some several weeks ago.
This war it broke out,
And Sweet Willie had to go.
He wrote me a letter
That he was very low,
He wrote me another
I never got ,I know.
He was wounded on the battle field,
And mortally in the side.
Then I received another,
Sweet Willie, he had died.
He was buried on the battle field,
And almost in the sea.
Go take up Sweet Willie,
And bury him by the side of me.

When I was of marriage age
Laid on a marriage bed
There came a noble press gang
And stood at my bed head,
Saying, “Arise! O arise! you new married man
And go along with me
To the lowlands of Holland
To fight your enemy.”
My wife she cast her arms around
Me thinking I could stay
I said to her, “My dearest dear,
This night I must away
“Away, away,” said he, “where the roaring
Roaring billows roar,
But if e’er I return again
I’ll spend my life on shore”
“No shoes or socks on my feet
No red rose in my hair
No firelight or no candle bright
Shall show my beauty fair,
“No never will our marriage be
No never till I die
Since the lowlands of Holland
Has parted my love and I.”
“O daughter! daughter!” mother says,
“Why do you so lament,
Ain’t there men enough in our town
To give you heart’s content?”
“If there’s men enough in our town
There’s none enough for me,
Since the lowlands of Holland
Has parted my love and me.
“O mother, Mother, don’t you see,
That ship a sailing down the other side
Its enough to break a fair maids heart
Or lose a good man’s bride.
“That little maid, a bride,” said she,
“Most glorious to behold
May the Gods above protect my love
A glorious sailor bold.”

Poor Jack has gone a sailing with trouble in his mind,
A leaving in this country his darling girl behind,
There was a wealthy merchant in London he did dwell,
And he had an only daughter the truth to you I’ll tell.
This lady she was courted by gents of high degree,
She loved none but Jack the sailor who ploughs the raging sea
If this be true my daughter of what I’ve heard of thee,
Then Jack he shall be banished and you confined shall be.
Oh, Pa, you may have my body, my heart you can’t confine,
There is none but Jack, the sailor, can win thisheart of mine,
She went into the tavern to dress in men’s array,
And unto the ship she started to convey herself away.
Before you come on board sir, your name I’d like to know,
She smiled within her countenance they call me Jack Monroe,
Your waist it is tooslender, your fingers they are small,
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannon ball.
My waist is very slender, my fingers they are small,
But it never makes me tremble to see ten thousand fall,
The drum began to beat, the fife began to play,
Unto the field of battle they all did march away.
The wars all being ended, she took a circle round
Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found,
She took him in her arms and carried him to town,
And sent for London doctors to heal his bloody wound.

Two years had passed when Joe at last
Gained wealth enough for life,
And sailed for home across the foam
To make sweet Nell his wife.
But soon he learned that Jack and Nell
One year ago had wed.
And deeply he regretted then
That he had ever said:

One day they met upon the street.
Said Joe, “You selfish whelp,
The very next girl I learn to love,
I’ll kiss her for myself.
Yet every thing in love is fair,
And since you’ve gone and wed,
I’ll not be angry with you Jack.”

My sweet heart's a shy little fairy.
Her age is just seventeen.
Her parents say she is too airy,
But a sweeter girl never was seen.
At night she steals out from the cottage
Her mother calls after her: Kate,
She answers: Dear Ma, I am not going far,
I'm just going down to the gate.
Chorus:
Just going down to the gate, dear Ma,
Just down to the old garden gate.
The moon is so bright, it's such a nice night,
I'm just going down to the gate.
Of course, at the gate I am wai/ntig,
And sweet are the words that we say,
While within, the old folks are debating
As to when thay shall move in May.
Sometimes thay call gently for Katie.
She answers: Dear Ma, 'tis not late.
There's no sign of storm and the night is so arm
I love to stand here at the gate.
They say she's too young to be married,
But with them we do not agree.
Love's message to Katie I carried.
A kiss was the answer for me.
We'll wander along in the moonlight.
Much longer I'm sure I can't wait.
Some night by-and-by to a preacher we'll fly
When Katie comes down to the gate.

Beating time to bounding feet.

Maids and youths by moonlight meet.
Oh! then, how sweet to move,
Through all that maze of mirth,
Lighted by those eyes we love,
Beyond all eyes on earth.
Then the joyeous banquet spread,
On the cool and fragrant ground.
With night’s bright eye--beams over head,
And still brighter sparkling round.
Oh! then, how sweet to say,
Into the loved one’s ear,
Thoughts reserved through many a day,
To be thus whispered there.
When the dance and feast are done,
Arm and arm as home we stray,
How sweet to see the dawning sun,
Over her cheek’s warm blushes play.

And words whose parting tone
Lingers still in dreams of bliss,
That haunt young hearts alone. ",,"Gaily Sounds the Castanet,songs and music balls,songs and music love,songs and music parties,The Castanet",https://omeka.library.appstate.edu/files/original/a54aca08e400e21a03900c40b20b0bc2.pdf,"Greer Document","I.G. Greer Folksong Collection",1,0

With nothing but my Banjo

I’ll make the banjo play

We wander through the clover
Down by the river side
I tell you her that I love her
And she must be my bride

Fancy-Stirring Bowl
It is when the fancy-stirring bowl,
Makes its world of pleasure,
Glowing visions gild my soul,
And life’s an endless treasure,
Then memory decks my wanted heart,
Fresh with gay desires,
With rays divine my senses dart,
And kindling hope inspires.
Then who would be grave when wine can save,
The heaviest soul from sinking,
And magic grapes give angel-shape,
To every girl we are drinking.
Here sweet benignity and love,
Shed their influence round me,
The gathered ills of live remove,
And leave me as they found me,
For though my head may swim yet true,
And still to natures feeling,
While peace and beauty swim there too,
And rock me as I am reeling. Chorus-
On youth’s soft pillow tender truth,
Her pensive lesson taught me,
When age soon mocked the dream of youth,
And Wisdom waked and caught me,
A bargain then with love I knocked,
To hold the pleasing gipsy,
When wise to keep my bosom locked,
But turn the key when tipsy. Chorus
When time assuaged my heated heart,
The grey-beard wise and simple,
Forgot to cool one little part,
Just flushed by Lucy’s dimple,
That part’s enough of beauty’s type,
To warm an honest fellow,
And though it touch me not when ripe,
It melts still while I am mellow. Chorus.",,"Fancy Stirring Bowl,Scottish Folk Song,songs and music love,songs and music wine,When the Fancy Stirring Bowl",https://omeka.library.appstate.edu/files/original/a1daf50e6f4e44de5cee599e24712a04.pdf,"Greer Document","I.G. Greer Folksong Collection",1,0

And now a poor skeleton, Oh, I am done over. Over, over etc.
How many a day have I stood with great pleasure,
And cut out my cloth to my customer’s measure,
With a full yard of cabbage, I then lived in clover,
But now I am a skeleton, by Cupid done over,Over, over, etc.
When first I beheld her in silks dressed so gaily,
I fell into fits and they troubled me daily
Oh! how cruel must she be, the sight could not cure her,
I fear that these fits will soon do me over. Over, over, etc
The next time I saw her pass by my shop window,
My goose, being hot, burnt a sliver to a cinder
The girls do so jeer me, that I can go no where,
Was ever a poor tailor so fairly done over?
Over, over, etc.
The last time I saw her was with a bold sailor,
She pointed and said, there’s a done over tailor
Goodbye Mr. Stitchlouse, I am going to Dover,
The stroke was so great it has quite done me over. Over, over, etc.
So now she has left me and is gone with a sailor,
She has left me alone, a poor done over tailor!
I never more will cabbage, nor be Will the rover,
God send I was dead, for I am fairly done over.
Over, over, etc. ",,"Don's Our Tailor,Dover,songs and music love,songs and music sailors,songs and music tailors",https://omeka.library.appstate.edu/files/original/33dca2a5d6e170936972944d98561867.pdf,"Greer Document","I.G. Greer Folksong Collection",1,0

Miss Adair, since I left the city,
I find that I’ve changed my mind.
Oh! Please do not think me fickle
Or think me the least unkind.
I find that we’re both mistaken,
I know you would never suit me,
And now my heart is another’s,
And with me I hope you’ll agree.
Please send me the ring that I gave you,
Also my picture so fair.
And please be so kind as to free me
From a flip and a flirt, Miss Adair.
Please send me the locket I gave you
Also my letters and books.
Henceforth Miss Adair, we are strangers,
Respectfully yours, Charles Brooks.
Dear Charley, I received your letter,
The last one you sent to me.
I have read it all over and over,
And with you of course I’ll agree.
I hope that you will be happy
With the beautiful heiress, Miss Gray.
I have heard all about it dear Charley,
And thought it would end this way.
Oh! Here is your ring, dear Charley,
Don’t give it to her, I pray,
Unless you tell her it was mine once,
I’ve had it a year today.
Only a year, dear Charley
‘Twas a bright happy year for us both.
You swore that you’d never forget me,
But you’ve been untrue to your oath.
Oh, here is your picture, dear Charley,
‘Tis almost faded away.
‘Tis because I have kissed it so often,
And that you can tell Miss Gray.
Oh, here are your letters, dear Charley,
I burned mine all when they came,
And I hope without reading them over,
You’ll commit them all to the flame.
You have my heart’s best wishes
For your happiness through life,
May your path be decked with roses
With an heiress for your wife.
And now goodbye, dear Charley,
My letter is nearing it’s end.
But remember dear Charley, remember
I’m forever and ever your friend.

Once I knew a briscom farmer,
He was a credit to any man.
He courted a pretty fair lady
Who lived in a foreign land.
His parents when they found it out
Grew angry and did say,
I’ll send him over and over the ocean
And his face you xwillx no more shall see.
So her searched the ocean over and over,
Over and over he did search,
Saying: If Polly is alive and I can find her,
I will make her my lawful bride.
So early one morning
As he went walking down the street,
Cold drops of rain fell as it happened
And his true love he did meet.
Good morning, good morning, fair lady,
Do you think you could fancy me?
Oh no, I fancy the briscom farmer
Who has lately gone to the sea.
Oh describe him, oh describe him,
Oh describe him unto me.
Perhaps I’ve saw just such a fellow,
As I have just come from the sea.
He was witty, he was pretty,
He was handsome and fair.
He had black hair ,and wore it curly
Oh his pretty blue eyes so fair.
Oh yes, I’ve saw that fellow
By the name of William Hale.
I saw him shot through with a forty four ball.
Oh how dead that man did fall.
Oh such screams as that young lady give.
Enough to prove any endless love,
Saying: Since we parted broken hearted,
It is now what shall I do?
Hush up, hush up, my pretty fair lady,
Perchance I may be he,
And to convince you of my story
Here’s the ring that you give me.
So they joined their lily white hands together,
Of to the Church house they did go,
Saying: this young couple will get married
Whether their parents are willing or no. ",,"Briscom Farmer,songs and music courtship,songs and music love,songs and music sailing",https://omeka.library.appstate.edu/files/original/8d68da53fac564446c8870dcea0d7d6c.pdf,"Greer Document","I.G. Greer Folksong Collection",1,0

If your name be Barb'ra Allen.""
Then slowly, slowly she came up,
And slowly she came nigh him,

What needs the tale you're telling?
I cannot keep you from your death,
Farewell,"" said Barb'ra Allen.

Who loved me so sincerely,
Oh that I had been more kind to him,
When he was alive and near me.
On Monday morning she took sick,
Her heart was struck with sorrow,
Oh, Mother, mother, make my bed,
For I shall die tomorrow.

“To-morrow morn I'm sweet sixteen, and Billy Grimes, the rover,
Has popped the question to me Ma, and wants to be my lover,
To-morrow morn, he says, Mamma, he's coming bright and early,
To take a pleasant trip with me across the fields of Barley”.
“You must not go, my daughter, dear, it is no use a-talking,
You cannot go across the field with Billy Grimes a walking.
To think of his presumption now, the dirty, ugly drover!
I wonder where your pride has gone to think of such a lover.”
“Old Grimes is dead, you know, Mamma, and Billy is so lonely,
Besides, they say, too, Grimes has said, that Billy is the only.
So he'll be heir to all he's left, and that they say is nearly
A good ten thousand dollars worth, and about six hundred yearly.""
“I did not hear, my daughter dear, your last remarks quite clearly.
But Billy is a clever lad, and no doubt loves you dearly.

And when we’re married, dear Mamma, We both shall look so neatly
I’ll wear a thousand dollar shawl, ‘Twil make me look so sweetly-
This common frock is getting old,
And silk will soon be fashion,
I’ll turn his pockets inside out, and meet with a shout, guess him-
Not quite so fast, my pretty miss, don’t try to win the drover.
Who’s traveled this whole country through in search of a true lover.
My money ne’er shall buy your shawl, Ne’er build your castles higher.

O where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy?
O where have you been, charming Billy?
I have been to seek a wife, she's the joy of my life.
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
Did she ask you to come in, Billy boy, Billy boy,
Did she ask you to come in, charming Billy?
She asked me to come in,
With a dimple in her chin.
She's a young thing and cannot leave her Mother.
Did she give you for to eat, Billy boy, Billy boy,
Did she ask you for to eat, charming Billy?
She asked me for to eat,
She had plenty of bread and meat,
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy boy, Billy boy,
Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy?
She can bake a cherry pie,
Quick as a cat can wink its eye.
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
How tall is she, Billy boy, Billy Boy,
How tall is she, charming Billy?
She's as tall as any pine,
Slim as a pumpkin vine.
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
How old is she, Billy boy, Billy boy,
How old is she, charming Billy?
She's twice six, twice seven,
Twenty and eleven,
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
