 ( 7 ) ''And then he vow'd his constant love  on Shannon s flow'ry banks,  And then I saw him sail away  and join the hostile ranks  From morn to eve, for twelve dull months,  his absence sad I mourn'd: '' ''The peace was made the ship came back,  but Sandy ne'er return'd.''

''His beauteous face, his manly form,  has won a nobler fair;  My Sandy's and I forlorn,  must die in sad despair!  Ye gentle maidens see me laid,  while you stand round in ranks,  And plant a willow o'er my head,  on Shannon's flow'ry banks.''





''By the side of a stream at the foot of a hill,  I met with young Nancy who lives at the mill,  My heart leapt with joy at so pleasing a sight,  For Nancy I vow is my only delight.''

''I told her my love and sat down by her side;  And swore the next morning I d make her my bride  In anger she said, Get out of my sight,''

And go to your Jenny, you met here last night.
