On the banks of the sweet Enoree. Or who will shoe my babys feet. Who will glove its feet. Or who will kiss its sweet little lips When you are in a far off land. She went away and dressed herself. Most beautiful to behold. And she rode through the town. And shined like reverand gold. She hadent been gone but about tow days. Im sure it was not three. Till she began to weep she wept and moaned. She wept most bitterly. Oh is it for my gold xforx you weep xerx Or is it for my store. Or is it for your your House Carpenter. Whose face I'll see no more? Its xisx not for your gold I weep. Nor neither for your store. But it is for my sweet little babe. Whose faceIll see no more. She hadent been gone but about three days. Im surw it was not foure. Till she sprang from the ship into the deep blue sea. And sank for to rise no more. Arthur K, Moore.
