Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Briscom Farmer. Once I knew a briscom farmer, He was a credit to any man. He courted a pretty fair lady Who lived in a foreign land. His parents when they found it out Grew angry and did say, I’ll send him over and over the ocean And his face you xwillx no more shall see. So her searched the ocean over and over, Over and over he did search, Saying: If Polly is alive and I can find her, I will make her my lawful bride. So early one morning As he went walking down the street, Cold drops of rain fell as it happened And his true love he did meet. Good morning, good morning, fair lady, Do you think you could fancy me? Oh no, I fancy the briscom farmer Who has lately gone to the sea. Oh describe him, oh describe him, Oh describe him unto me. Perhaps I’ve saw just such a fellow, As I have just come from the sea. He was witty, he was pretty, He was handsome and fair. He had black hair ,and wore it curly Oh his pretty blue eyes so fair. Oh yes, I’ve saw that fellow By the name of William Hale. I saw him shot through with a forty four ball. Oh how dead that man did fall. Oh such screams as that young lady give. Enough to prove any endless love, Saying: Since we parted broken hearted, It is now what shall I do? Hush up, hush up, my pretty fair lady, Perchance I may be he, And to convince you of my story Here’s the ring that you give me. So they joined their lily white hands together, Of to the Church house they did go, Saying: this young couple will get married Whether their parents are willing or no.

He sent his man unto her then, To the town where she was dwelling, "You must come to my master dear If your name be Barb'ra Allen." Then slowly, slowly she came up, And slowly she came nigh him, "Oh lovely maid, come pity me, I'm on my deathbed lying." "If on your deathbed you do lie, What needs the tale you're telling? I cannot keep you from your death, Farewell," said Barb'ra Allen. Hard-hearted creature him to slight, Who loved me so sincerely, Oh that I had been more kind to him, When he was alive and near me.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. They tell me, Father, that tonight You wed another bride That you will clasp her in your arms Where my dear Mother died. That she will lean her graceful head Upon your manly breast, Where she who now lies low in death In life’s last hours did rest. They say her name is Mary, too- The name my Mother bore. But Father, is she kind and true Like the one you loved before? And is her step so soft and light, Her voice so meek and mild? And Father, do you think she will love Your blind and helpless child? Please, Father, do not bid me come To meet your lovely bride, For I could not meet her in the room Where my dear Mother died. Her picture’s hanging on the wall. Her books are lying near, And there’s the harp her fingers touched And her vacant chair. The chair where by her side I knelt To say my evening prayer. Please, Father, do not bid me come, For I could not meet her there. But when I’ve cried myself to sleep, As I now often do, Then softly to my chamber creep, My new Mama and you. Then bid her gently press a kiss upon my throbbing brow, Just as my own dear Mother would. Why, Papa, you’re weeping now. Now let me kneel down by your side And to my Savior pray That God’s right hand may guide you back Through life’s long weary way. The prayer was murmured, then again "I’m growing tired", she said. He gently raised her in his arms And laid her on the bed. Then as he turned to leave the room, One joyful cry was given. He turned and caught the sweetest smile, For his blind child was in Heaven. They laid her by her Mother’s side And raised a marble fair, And on it engraved these simple words: There’ll be no blind ones there.

On that spot of clover we eat ourselves down, Not envying the greatest of monarchs that's crown'd; My name in the sand with his finger he drew, And he swore aby the stream he would ever prove true. To which I beheld the gay pride of my fair, I gazed on his face while he played with my hair; He need not have told me his love with a sigh, For the Schuylkill secures my deer fellow to me. Oft times has he told me fine stories of love, He would sing me a song my affections to move; My lips were oft solicited my hands gently pressed, On the banks of the Schuylkill where I was blessed. When ever we leave this enchanting retreat, With b 1ushes she says when next shall we !Teet; Next Sunday he says, if the weather proves clear, On the banks of the Schuylkill I'll meet you my dear. Now all these inno cent pleasures are over, The murmuring river can please me no more; Since the banks of the Schuylkill has lost all its charm, And the soldiers have torn my dear boy from my arms. But should ever I clasp him again to my heart, No more shall my true love and I ever part, No more shall the wars take my true love a way; And the banks of the Schuylkill shall ever be gay. � 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. The Banks of The Schuykill On the banks of the Schuylkill so pleasant and gay, There blessed with my true love I spent the short day, Where the sun shed his rays through the mulberry tree, And the stream formed a mirror for my true love and me. On that spot of clover we sat ourselves down, Not envying the greatest of monarchs that's crown'd, My name in the sand with his finger he drew, And he swore aby the stream he would ever prove true. To which I beheld the gay pride of my fair, I gazed on his face while he played with my hair, He need not have told me his love with a sigh, For the Schuylkill secures my dear fellow to me. Oft times has he told me fine stories of love, He would sing me a song my affections to move, My lips were oft solicited my hands gently pressed, On the banks of the Schuylkill where I was blessed. When ever we leave this enchanting retreat, With blushes she says when next shall we meet, Next Sunday he says, if the weather proves clear, On the banks of the Schuylkill I'll meet you my dear. Now all these innocent pleasures are over, The murmuring river can please me no more, Since the banks of the Schuylkill has lost all its charm, And the soldiers have torn my dear boy from my arms. But should ever I clasp him again to my heart, No more shall my true love and I ever part, No more shall the wars take my true love a way, And the banks of the Schuylkill shall ever be gay.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. In the Baggage Coach Ahead. On a dark and stormy night, As the train rattled on, All the passengers had gone to bed Except one young man with a babe in his arms Who sat with a bowed down head. The innocent one began crying just then As if it’s poor heart would break. Make that child stop its noise,an angry man said, For it’s keeping us all awake. Put it out,said another,don’t keep it in here. We have paid for our berths and want rest. But never a word,said the man with the child, As he fondled it close to his breast. Where is its Mother? Go take it to her, A lady then softly said. I wish that I could,was the young man’s reply, But she’s dead in the coach ahead. Chorus: As the train xrolledx rattled onward, A husband sat in tears, Thinking of the happiness of just a few short ears. While baby’s face brings pictures Of a cherished hope that’s dead, But baby’s cries can’t waken her In the baggage coach ahead. Every eye filled with tears As the story he told Of a wife who was faithful and true, And how he had saved up their earnings for ears just to build them a home for two. Then Heaven had sent them a sweet little babe Their young happy lives to bless. In tears he broke down when he mentioned her name And in sorrow he told them the rest. Every woman arose to assist with the child, - There were Mothers and wives on the train. And soon was the little one sleeping in peace With no thou ht of sorrow or pain. Next morning at the station he told all goodbye. Bod bless you,he softly said. And each had a story to tell in their homes Of the baggage coach ahead.
