With :plume in his helm and his sword, By his side, and a_1r..'ii;._ like show, He marched t0 tLe field at the glorious word, And beat the retreat of the foe. Full many a youth have I seen, Who has whispered affection to me. But give me the lad with a double of green, Who can beat Freedoms reveille. Should he fall but I ho:pe he may not, His spirit shall dwell with tee brave j His deeds by his country shall never be forgot, While Freedom weeps over his grave. Then ma.rch to the roll of the drum, It summons the brave to the :plain; Where heroes contend for the home, Which :perchance they may never see again. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When first I learnt the saddlers trade, Was alwa.ys called a roving blade. At sixteen yea.rs I took a wife, I loved her dearly as I loved my life; And to !ll81ntain her fair and gay, Lords, Dukes, and 'Earls, I did me.ke way. For when my cash it did run low, On the high way I was forced to go Where I robbed the Lords and Ladies bright, And brought the gold to my hearts delight. I r~bbed Lord Mansfield I d~ declare, And Lady Ha.rlem in Gr-:>svenor s~uare, Shut up the coach, bid them goodnight, Ana carried the gold to my hearts delight. I never robbed a poor man yet, Nor caused a. poor man for to fret, The poor served, and robbed the great, Which bMught me to this untimely fate. Through Covent Garden I str.:>lled away With my sweet girl to see the play; But Fieldings gang did me pursue, And I was taken for robbing a few. Now I am lost, condemned to die, N··mght can save from the fatal tree; r.1y father cries, I am undone, My mother cries, 0, darling s~n. My bloomin15 girl tears her auburn hair, Seying, where shall I flee I'm in despair, . And now my passing bell doth toll, The L1rd have mercy on my soul. Highwaymen let my m~urners be, Give them broa.d swords and liberty; Sir Dullin Ladies t0 bear my pall, Give them white gowns and pink ribbons all. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Neither father nor mother can make her false prove “I’ll dress like a soldier and follow my love.” So early next morning pretty Polly did arise with a case of bright pistols and a sword by her side, On her fathers best gilding pretty Polly did ride. She went to the stable, she viewed all around, She picked her out one that could measure the ground. With her long yaller hair, down her head it did hang, In every degree it looked like some young man. She rode till she came to the first English town The first one she met was the captain for Polly’s true love. “To lie with the captain is a dangerous thing, Although I’m a soldier from Washington came.” “Your waist is too slim and slender, your fingers are too small Your cheeks are too red and rosy to face a cannon ball.” “I know my waist is slim and slender, my fingers very small, It would not daunt me to see ten thousand fall.” This battle it was ended, she took a circle round, Among the dead and dying her darling love she found. She picked him up all in her arms and carried him to a London town, She sent unto a doctor to heal his mortal wound. Thus couple they got married so well they did agree This couple they got married and why not you and me.

Mellow Romance Old and gray ‘Tis thee and not the roses, dear, that I have learned to love, Though now thine eyes are bright and clear, and gentle as a dove. Yet should thine eyes grow dim with age I’ll love thee all the way, For ‘tis the head and not the heart that shall grow old and gray. Chorus: And I shall love thee more and more as years shall pass away, We’ll know each other better, dear, when we are old and gray. I love thy hair so bonny brown, thy smiles that just meet mine, Thy little manners all thine own, but ‘tis because they’re thine. And when they’re thine no longer, dear, then I can truly say, It is the head and not the heart that has grown old and gray. Chorus: And when through all the changing years I see thy patient smile, A faith that smiles e’en through its tears that nothing can beguile. Then I shall closer cling to thee, my tongue shall truly say, It is the head and not the heart that has grown old and gray. Chorus: And as we journey down the hill and near the setting sun, The wheel just stopping in the mill, our life’s work almost done, I’ll ask for strength to guide thee, dear, and help all the way, For thou wilt need my love the more when we are old and gray.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. A Mason's Daughter A Mason’s daughter fair and young, The pride of all the virgin throng, Thus to her lover said, Though, Damon, I your flame approve, Your actions praise, your person love, Yet still I’ll live a maid. None shall unite my virgin one, But one to whom the secret’s known, Of famed free masonry, In which the great and good combine, To raise, with generous design, Man to felicity. The lodge excludes the fox and fool, The plodding knave, and party fool, That liberty would sell, The nobel, faithful, and the brave, No golden charms can ever deceive, In slavery to dwell. This said, he bowed, and went away, Reply was made without delay, Returned to her again, The fair one granted his request, Connubial joys their days have blest, And may they ever remain. folk songs Mason's Daughter songs and music love songs and music marriage proposals The Freemason's Daughter United States Freemasonry https://omeka-test.library.appstate.edu/files/original/f14c5bec8c10bb47ab8fa58524fc42da.pdf 031ab4aee4ff169e0f26c75cf515b3e8 PDF Text Text Marri ge Bed WJen I w~s o f ~qrriage are Laid on [ arriage ~ed TherE:: ca1.1e a noble p r ess g" ntr And stood at ..w bed .•e ad , you new n~rri d ulan And g o l ong witn .e To tu; l o• 1 1ds of Holl:::nd To r·.g. t your ene. 1. 11 Sa, inl7 , " .. rL. e!

The Soldier Lass Poor Jack has gone a sailing with trouble in his mind, A leaving in this country his darling girl behind, There was a wealthy merchant in London he did dwell, And he had an only daughter the truth to you I’ll tell. This lady she was courted by gents of high degree, She loved none but Jack the sailor who ploughs the raging sea If this be true my daughter of what I’ve heard of thee, Then Jack he shall be banished and you confined shall be. Oh, Pa, you may have my body, my heart you can’t confine, There is none but Jack, the sailor, can win thisheart of mine, She went into the tavern to dress in men’s array, And unto the ship she started to convey herself away. Before you come on board sir, your name I’d like to know, She smiled within her countenance they call me Jack Monroe, Your waist it is tooslender, your fingers they are small, Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannon ball. My waist is very slender, my fingers they are small, But it never makes me tremble to see ten thousand fall, The drum began to beat, the fife began to play, Unto the field of battle they all did march away. The wars all being ended, she took a circle round Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found, She took him in her arms and carried him to town, And sent for London doctors to heal his bloody wound.

Then who would be grave when wine can save, The heaviest soul from sinking, And magic grapes give angel-shape, To every girl we are drinking. Here sweet benignity and love, Shed their influence round me, The gathered ills of live remove, And leave me as they found me, For though my head may swim yet true, And still to natures feeling, While peace and beauty swim there too, And rock me as I am reeling. Chorus- On youth’s soft pillow tender truth, Her pensive lesson taught me, When age soon mocked the dream of youth, And Wisdom waked and caught me, A bargain then with love I knocked, To hold the pleasing gipsy, When wise to keep my bosom locked, But turn the key when tipsy. Chorus When time assuaged my heated heart, The grey-beard wise and simple, Forgot to cool one little part, Just flushed by Lucy’s dimple, That part’s enough of beauty’s type, To warm an honest fellow, And though it touch me not when ripe, It melts still while I am mellow.

To think you would be some other man's darling To never more on earth be mine. When I am asleep I am dreaming about you, And when I'm awake I see no rest. Every moment seems like an hour. But Oh, these pains across my breast! I used to live in East Virginia. South Carolina was my home. There I courted a fair little lady, But her name I did not know. Her hair was of some dark brown color, And her cheeks were rosy red. On her breast she wore white lilies. I wish to the lord thI was dead. I wish I was on some foreign Island Where the sun don't never shine To think you would be some other man's darling To nver more on earth be mine.

Billy Grimes, the Drover. “To-morrow morn, I’m sweet sixteen, and Billy Grimes, the rover, Has popped the question to me Ma, and wants to be my lover, To-morrow morn, he says, Mamma, he’s coming bright and early, To take a pleasant trip with me across the fields of Barley”. “You must not go, my daughter, dear, it is no use a-talking, You cannot go across the field with Billy Grimes a walking. To think of his presumption now, the dirty ugly drover. I wonder where your pride has gone to think of such a rover.” “Old Grimes is dead, you know, Mamma, and Billy is so lonely, Besides, they say too, Grimes has said, that Billy is the only. So he’ll be heir to all he’s left, and that they say is nearly A good ten thousand dollars worth, and about six hundred yearly. “I did not hear, my daughter dear, your last remarks quite clearly, But Billy is a clever lad, and no doubt loves you dearly. Be Be ready then tomorrow morn and be up bright and early, To take a pleasant walk with him across the fields of Barley.” And when we’re married, dear Mamma, We both shall look so neatly I’ll wear a thousand dollar shawl, ‘Twil make me look so sweetly- This common frock is getting old, And silk will soon be fashion, I’ll turn his pockets inside out, and meet with a shout, guess him- Not quite so fast, my pretty miss, don’t try to win the drover. Who’s traveled this whole country through in search of a true lover. My money ne’er shall buy your shawl, Ne’er build your castles higher. Please madam, take your daughter home, I did it but to try her.
