Lyrics

It's of a sailor as home by right,
And in a young fair maid he took his delight.
A young fair maid he did beguile,
And O this young fair maid he had by child.
To hide her shame and scorn to prevent,
Into a silent grove she went.
To hide her shame and and end her strife,
It was there she did cut her thread of life.
She hung her there unto a tree,
Two young men a-hunting chanced her to see.
Her flesh by small birds beastly torn,
Which caused those young men to weep and to mourn.
They took their knife and cut her down,
And in her bosom these words they found.
And it was writ in letters large,
O, bury me not, I do you charge.
On top of ground, pray let me lay,
And all young fair maids who pass this way.
All young fair maids, a warning take,
And mind what follows when 'tis too late.
