You’re welcome home ,my Johnny,You’re welcome home from sea. This night my daughter Polly was dreaming of thee. What luck says Johnny,what luck says he. I’ve lost my ship and cargo all on the raging sea. Where is your daughter Polly,John? Go bring her in to me. And early in the morning Married we will be. My daughter Polly’s absent,John,and she is far away. And if she was here,John, She would not let you stay, For Polly’s very rich,John,and you are very poor. And if she was here John,she would kick you out the door. Johnny being drowsy,he hung down his head, And called for a candle to light him off to bed My beds are full of strangers,John, and has been all the week. And for some other lodgings poor Johnny ,you must seek. Johnny waked up the landlord,a room for to call. Twenty of the new,John,and twenty of the old. And Johnny he pulled out his two hands full of gold. Oh’ I was only joking,John,I only spake my jest. Without any exceptions she loves you the best. In come Polly ,with a sparkling facexx .Straightway to Johnny, And John she did embrace. My green bed is empty,John,and you shall lay therein. And early in the morning,married we will be,O’ When I had no money,my lodgings was to seek, And before I’d lay within your house, I’d lie out in the street.

Let him be a man of honor, Let him be on land or sea, The Squire's sons two loving brothers, Came this fair lady for to see. Then went home these loving brother, Not dreaming of their dismal doom, While she lay lisping on her pillow, Until the morning light should come. And then she called for coach and horses, All ready in attendance be While I ride on to yonder mountains, The roaring lions for to see. She rode on to yonder mountains The lions they were fumbling round And for the space of one half hour, She lay quite senseless on the ground. And when at last she did recover, Into the den she threw her fan, Saying, "Either of you to win a lover Will go and bring my fan again. Then up and spoke the noble captain, Saying, "Madam, your offer I do refuse, For in that den there is great danger, In there a man his life would lose". Then up and spoke the brave Lieutenant, He raised his voice so loud and high, Saying, "Im a man a man of honor, I'll go and bring your fan or die". Down into the den he entered, the lions They were fierce and grim, But he stamped and he stormed All around and about them, And looked at them as fierce again. He stamped and he stormed all round and about them, Until the lions grew quite calm, When lo! he stooped and the fan he gathered, Returning to his love again. And when she saw that he was coming, And unto him no harm was done, Into his arms she flew a running, For him to enjoy the prize he had won. Then up and spoke the noble Captain, He spoke like a man who was troubled in mind, Saying, I'll go down in some lone valley, And mourn until the day I die".

Her parents say she is too airy, But a sweeter girl never was seen. At night she steals out from the cottage Her mother calls after her: Kate, She answers: Dear Ma, I am not going far, I'm just going down to the gate. Chorus: Just going down to the gate, dear Ma, Just down to the old garden gate. The moon is so bright, it's such a nice night, I'm just going down to the gate. Of course, at the gate I am wai/ntig, And sweet are the words that we say, While within, the old folks are debating As to when thay shall move in May. Sometimes thay call gently for Katie. She answers: Dear Ma, 'tis not late. There's no sign of storm and the night is so arm I love to stand here at the gate. They say she's too young to be married, But with them we do not agree. Love's message to Katie I carried. A kiss was the answer for me. We'll wander along in the moonlight. Much longer I'm sure I can't wait. Some night by-and-by to a preacher we'll fly When Katie comes down to the gate.

O, Edgar, I am weary, Please ,won’t you take me home? In silence then he kissed her, And pressed her to his heart. Oh, Ellen, Oh, Ellen, my darling, ‘Tis sad that we must part. She then knelt down beside him And prayed him spare her life- When in her fair young bosom He plunged a daggered knife. Oh, Edgar I’ll forgive you, Though this be my last breath.

The wedding bells were ringing, On a moonlit winter’s night, The church was decorated All within was gay and bright. A mother with her baby came And saw these lights aglow, She thought of how the same bells chimed For her, three years ago. Chorus: While the wedding bells were ringing, While the bride and groom were there, Marching up the isle together, As the organ pealed an air, Telling tales of fond affection, Vowing nevermore to part, Just another fatal wedding, Just another broken heart. I’d like to be admitted ,sir, She begged the sexton, old, Just for the sake of baby, To protect him from the cold". But he told her that the wedding Was for the rich and grand, And with the eager watching crowd Outside, she’d have to stand. She begged the sexton once again To let her step inside, "For baby’s sake you may come in" The gray haired man replied. "If any one knows reason why This couple should not wed, Speak now, or else forever hold Your peace", the preacher said." I must object", a woman cried, Her voice so meek and mild. "The bride groom is my husband ,sir, And this our little child." "What proof have you, the preacher asked. "My baby ,sir "she cried, And knelt to pray to God in Heaven, The little one had died. The parents pf the bride Then took the outcast by the arm, "We’ll care for you through life", they said "You’ve saved our child from harm." The parents, bride and outcast wife In a carriage rolled away, The gridegroom died by his own hand Before the break of day. No wedding feast was spred that night. Two graves were made next day. In one the little baby And in one the father lay. The story has been oftimes told By firesides warm and bright, Of bride and groom and outcast wife, And that fatal wedding night.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Farmer's Boy The sun had sunk behind the hills Across yon dreary moor. When wet and cold there came a boy Up to the farmer's door. “Can you tell me”, said he, “if any there be Who would like to give employ For to plow and sow, to reap and mow, And to be a farmer's boy? “My father'dead--my mother's left With four poor children small, And what is worse for mother still I'm the eldest of them all. But though small, I'll work as hard as I can If I can get employ For to plow and sow, to reap and mow, And to be a farmer's boy!” The farmer's wife cried, “Try the lad, Let him no further seek!” “O, do, papa!” the daughter said, While a tear stood on her cheek: “For those who will work 'tis hard to want, Or to wander for employ For to plow and sow, to reap and mow, And to be a farmer's boy!” The farmer's boy he grew a man-- The good old farmer died, He left the lad with all he had, And his daughter for a bride! The boy that was, now a farmer is And he thinks and smiles with joy, At the close of day when he passed that way To be a farmer's boy! Farmer's Boy songs and music songs and music farming songs and music happy ending
