Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. My Pretty Mohea. As I went out walking for pleasure one day, In sweet recreation to while the time away, While I was amusing myself on the grass, Oh, who should I spy but a fair Indian lass. She sat down beside me and, taking my hand, Said: You are a stranger and in a strange land But if you will follow, you’re welcome to come And dwell in the cottage that I call my home. The sun was fast setting ,far o’er the soft sea, When I wandered alone with my pretty Mohea. Together we wandered, together did rove Till we came to the hut in the cocoa-nut grove. Then this kind expression she made unto me, If you will consent , Sir, to stay here with me, And go no more roving upon the salt sea, I’ll teach you the language of the lass of Mohea. Oh,no,my dear maiden, that never could be, For I have a true love in my own country. And I’ll not forsake her , for I know she loves me, And her heart is as true as the pretty Mohea. ‘Twas early one morning in May, one morning in May, That to this fair maiden these words I did say: I’m going to leave you, so farewell, my dear, My ship’s sails are spreading and home I must steer. The last time I saw her she stood on the sand, And as my boat passed her, she waved me her hand, Saying: When you have landed with the girl that you love, Think of little Mohea in the cocoa-nut grove. And then when I landed on my own native shore, With friends and relations around me once more, I gazed all about me, - not one could I see That I could compare with the pretty Mohea. And the girl that I trusted proved untrue to me, So I’ll turn my course backward far o’er the deep sea, I’ll turn my course backward, from this land I’ll flee, I’ll go spend my days with my pretty Mohea. folk song he Little Mohee Indian Mohee Island Mohee Little Mohea One Morning in May Pretty Maumee song and music betrayal The Lass of Mohay The Lassie Mohee The Little Maumee The Little Mawhee The Pretty Mohea The Pretty Mohee https://omeka-test.library.appstate.edu/files/original/4c3f2842cdc21df36ffea65868475cfa.pdf d3f551169fc66344f79fe394cc8bea41 PDF Text Text The Pretty :Iollea.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Bloody Miller, or The Murdering Miller One month ago since Christmas last The most unhappy day, The devil, he persuaded me To take her life away. I met her at her sister’s house ‘Twas eight o’ clock that night, But little that creature knew I owed her any spite. I asked her if she’d walk with me In the fields a little way, That we might both so well agree And appoint the wedding day. As we went down a lonesome place To the fields a little way, I drew a stick out of the hedge And struck her in the face. As she came down to bended knees “Oh, murderer she did cry, For Heaven’s sake don’t murder me For I am not fit to die.” And then to wash her sins away I took her by the hair, And drug her to a river near And left her body there. Then to my mill, my mill I ran, The miller was amazed, He slowly fixed his eyes on me And slowly he did gaze. Oh, master, master, master, dear, You look as pale as death Have you been running all this night That put you out of breath? What means the blood upon your hands Likewise upon your clothes? I answered him immediately By bleeding at the nose. I snatched snatched the candle from his hand And to my bed I run, I lay there trembling all that night For the murder I had done. I lay there trembling all that night, I could not take my rest, I could but feel the flames of hell Roll o’er my guilty breast. The morning dawned, the sheriff came, He took me to my jail, And bound me there for six long months And then in death to wail.

And the cold -South wind is a blowing, And I have no place to lay down. You must know that I use no tobacco, Neither carry no matches nor pipe. I will do you no harm, -not a bit, sir Let me sleep in your barn just to-night. You may ask me how long I’ve been traveling, Or been living this kind of a life.

It was three years ago last Summer, I shall never forget that sad day, When a stranger came from a city, So tall ,so handsome and gay. He looked well dressed and sporty, He looked like a man who had wealth, And he said he had come to this Country Just to stay here a while for his health. And my wife said she’d love me with earnest For something to add to our hoard, So she begged me until I consented To let the stranger stop and board. One evening as I came from my workshop, I was whistling and singing for joy, Expecting a kind hearty welcome From my wife and a kiss from my boy. And nothing I found but a letter Which some one had placed there for me. And the moment my eyes fell upon it, I at once picked it up just to see. And the words that were written upon it Seem to burn till my brow run me wild, For they say that the stranger and Nellie Have run off and taken my child. Oh, theres surely a God up in heaven Which I’ve always been taught to believe And I pray that He’ll give to my boy A life that he ought to receive.

Wouldn't I bust his pumpkin head, That fellow that looks like me. One day while I was walking Through a narrow street up town I was stopped by a man in a rage, Who said, ìI've got you, Mr. Brown.î You know my daughter you have wronged, Though his gal I never did see, But he beat me till I was black and blue, For that fellow that looks like me. One day while I sat sparking A girl as dear as life, A lady who had just dropped in Says, ìBrown, how is your wife?î In vain I said I'm a single man Though married I wish to be. She called me a swindle and kicked me out For the fellow that looks like me. I was walking to the Central Park to go, I was stopped by a man in a rage who said, ìPay me this bill you owe.î In vain I said, ìI know you notî But he would not let me free Till a crowd came around and the bill I paid For the fellow that looks like me. I went to a ball the other night, Was just enjoying the sport, When a policeman grabbed me by the arm And says, "You're wanted down at court, You've escaped us twice, but this here time I'll take care that you don't go free." So I was arrested and took to jail For the fellow that looks like me. I was tried next day, found guilty, And was about to be taken down, When another policeman then brought in The right criminal, Mr. Brown.

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.
