'''Floating down the tide''' 
[[Roud 1414]]

#O eight long months she’s been with child She cried unto her love Crying: Johnny, dearest Johnny Prove kind and marry me 
#Go home to your parents And do the best you can And tell them that young Johnny Has proved a false young man 
#I shan’t go to my parents For the shame of my disgrace But I will go and drown myself Into some lonesome place 
#Then she pulled out her fine cloth Her body to destroy Saying: Farewell, false-hearted Johnny For your sweet sake I die 
#As Johnny was a-walking Sown by some riverside he saw his own dear Polly Come floating down the tide 
#Then he pulled off his small cloth His body to destroy He clutched his hands on Polly His dear and only joy 
#Saying: I’ve no friends or relations My dear to mourn for me ‘Tis on the cold and clutty banks I’ll die with my Polly
