W: 
W:Down in the W. Country there lived a young couple 
W:A man & a maid so gallant and gay 
W:Longtime they had courted but never talked of marriage 
W:Till at length the young damsel to her true love did say 
W:"Come, come tell to me what is it you do mean 
W:For of courting I am weary, resolved for to marry 
W:Or else from your company I must refrain" 
W: 
W:"Oh! Madam, I tell you I do love you dearly 
W:And above all things your company I requite 
W:But before I do leave you, I must tell you plainly 
W:I must forsake your sweet company quite 
W:For when a man's wed, his joys are all fled 
W:He's bound from liberty, tied to all slavery 
W:So I've a mind to go free & not wed" 
W: 
W:Then she wrote to her true love a charming rich letter 
W:To come to her wedding on the 19th of June 
W:And that he might do instead of a better 
W:To wait at the table all on the bridegroom. 
W:A few lines he read, his head did quite bleed 
W:His mirth was soon turned to sorrow & mourning 
W:Crying out 'Foolish, I have lost her indeed
