The Jealous Lover |
She dressed herself in men’s attire |
And so gaily she was dressed |
A’thinking to meet her own true love, the one that she loved best |
But when he saw her a’coming |
He cried out, «who is there? |
It is my eldest brother, a’thinkin to meet my dear |
But how soon will I deceive him, for his butcher I will be |
He shall not live to enjoy my love nor yet to bother me" |
He fired right at him as he thought |
Which caused his loved one to fall |
And in her tender bosom he lodged a fatal ball |
«I fall, I fall, I fall», said she |
«I fall unto the ground |
Oh, Jimmie, cruel Jimmie |
You have gave me my death wound |
Come look at the crimson tide, that from my heart does flow |
Oh Jimmie, cruel Jimmie |
How could you use me so?» |
And when he saw what he had done |
He tore his lovin' hair |
Another loaded pistol for himself he did repair |
«I shall die for the love of Mary, I shall die for the life of thee!» |
Come all bold lads and bold lassies |
Be aware of jealousy |
