As she walked out through a silent grove
Who should she meet but her true love.
“Kind Sir,” she said, “And upon my life
I do intend to be your wife.”
“Oh, fairest creature it cannot be
That I should be wedded unto thee.
Since I am going to be wed
To Handsome Sally your waiting maid.”
“If that be true as you tell to me
A bitter pill I will prove to thee.
For shipping I’ll take immediately
And I’ll sail with Sally to Floridee.”
As they were sailing upon the Main
This wicked wretch she contrived a scheme.
While Handsome Sally lay fast asleep
She plunged her body into the deep.
Hanged and burned then was she
For her sad crime and cruelty.
So two fair maids were by love undone
And in Bedlam lies the farmer’s son.
