Page:Bonny lass of Banaphie (3).pdf/6

 O lady fair come along with me,

And thy true love thou soon shalt see,

And for thy sake a vow I'll make,

A single man no more he s be.

Young Billy Graham was called then,

His own true love once more to see,

But when he saw her well far'd face,

O the salt tears did blind his eye.

You're welcome here my dearest dear,

You're thrice welcome here unto me,

For there's not a face so full of grace,

Not in the land of Germany.

With kisses sweet those lovers did meet,

Most joyful as we are told,

She's chang'd his dress from worsted lace,

To crimson scarlet trim'd with gold.

But when her cruel Father found,

His daughter she abroad was gone,

He sent a letter on express,

Twas to call these lovers home.

To him he gave a free discharge,

All for the sake of Lady Jean,
