(A Balad of the Return of the Dead) There was a lady of beauty rare, And children she had three, She sent them away to the North Countree, To learn their grammarree. They hadn’t been gone so very long, Scarcely three months and a day, When there came a sickness all over the land, And swept them all away. And when she came this for to know, She wrung her hands full sore, Saying alas' alas! What shall I do, For I’ll never see my babes any more. Ain’t there a king in Heaven ,she cried, Who used to wear a crown? I pray the Lord will me reward, And send my three babes down. It was a comin’ near Christmas time, And the nights were long and cold, When her three little babes came running down To their dear mother’s home. She set a table for them there, All covered with cakes and wine, And said come eat, my dear little babes, Come, eat and drink of mine. We do not want your cakes, Mammee, We do not want your wine, For in the morning by the break of day, With our Savior you must dine. She fixed them a bed in the backmost room, All spread o’er with clean white sheets, And on the top a golden one.xx That they might soundly sleep. Take it off, take it off, Mammee, they said, Take it off we say again. A woe, a woe to this wicked world, So long since pride began. Cold clods lie at our heads, Mammee, Green grass grows at our feet, The tears come running down your cheeks To wet our winding sheet.

It was a-comin' near Christmas time, And the nights were lomg and cold, When her three little babes come runnin' down To their dean mother's home. She set a table for them there, All covered with cakes and wine, And said,6ome eat,my dear little babe•, Come,eat a.nd drink of mine. We do not want your cakes,m~ee, We do not want your wine; For in the morning by break of day, With our Saviour we must dine. She fixed them a bed in the backmost room, All spread o'er with clean white sheets, And on the top a g olden one, That they might soundly sleep. Take it Take it A woe,a So long off,take it off,mammee,they said, off we say a gain. woe to this wicked world, since pride began. Cold clods lie a.t our heads,mammee, Green grass grows . . t our feet; The tears come running down your cheeks To wet out winding-sheet. Rise up,rise up,said the oldest one , I hear the rooster crow; Oh, yonder stands our Saviour dea.r, And to him we must go. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. WENT TO SEE MY GIRL I went to see my girl last night, She looked most scornful. I ask her to marry me, she would not marry me. I begged and I pled till almost dawn of day, Waiting for an answer, kind miss, what will you say? If I have to answer I will take a single life, I never thought it suited to be your wife. In about three weeks or later this lady’s mind did change, She wrote him a letter, kind sir, I am ashamed. He wrote her another, sent it back in speed. I once loved you, darling, I once loved you dear, But now I have another I court both night and day. And some lovely river bank, I throw you away, And some lonely river bank, I haven’t long to stay. I’ve lost my own true lover and now I am going away, Then came a little bird through every bush and vine, My pleasures would be doubled if you were only mine.
