Gone To America |
| Married him in April, lost him in July; |
| Listen to my story and I’ll tell you why |
| They said that he’d been poaching and stealing wine |
| They said I wouldn’t see him for a long long time |
| Chorus: They said he’s gone to America |
| To work the land that some called Virginia; |
| They said he’s gone to America |
| Married him in April, lost him in July; |
| They took him as their prisoner then told me why |
| They said they had sent him where poachers go |
| I asked if I could see him but they said no |
| Married him in April, lost him in July; |
| Curse the men who took him, curse their wicked lie |
| The night they saw him poaching and stealing wine |
| Was the night he took comfort in these arms of mine |
| Married him in April, lost him in July |
