Fountains Flowing

Our captain called all hands, we sail tomorrow

Leaving these poor girls behind in grief and sorrow

Dry off your briny tears and cease your weeping

It's happy we shall be at our next meeting

I'll roll you in my arms, my dearest jewel

So stay at home with me and don't be cruel

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers

When you could stay at home free from all dangers?

When I had gold in store you did invite me

But now I'm low and poor you mean to slight me

She fell down on the floor like one that was dying

This house was filled with grief, crying and sighing

You courted me a while just to deceive me

But now my heart you've won you mean to leave me

I'll put no trust in men, not in my own brother

So maids if you would love, love one another

Farewell my dearest friends, father and mother

I am your only child, I have no brother

It's vain to weep for me for I am going

To everlasting joy and fountains flowing
