My parents rear'd me tenderly, endeavouring for me ſtill,

And in the town of Wagan they bound me to a mill,

Where there I ſpied a Wexford girl, that had a black rolling eye.

And I offered to marry her if ſhe would with me lie.

In six months after this this maid grew big with child,

Marry me, dear Johnny, as you did me beguile;

I promiſed to marry her, as ſhe was big with child:

But little did this fair maid know her life I would beguile.

I took her from her siſter's door, at 8 o’clock at night,

But little did this fair maid know at her I bore a ſpite;

I invited her to take a walk to the fields a little way,

That we might conclude a while and appoint a wedding day.
