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.

Well met,he cried For I’m just returning from the salt,salt sea,A And it’s all for the love of thee. Oh, I could have married a King’s daughter ,dear, And she would have married me, But I refused a crown of gold, And it’s all for the love of thee. If you could have married a king’s Dayghter,dear, I think you are to blame, For I have lately been married to a House arpenter, And I think he’s a fine young man. Oh,wont you leave your House Carpenter, And go along with me? I’ll take you where the grass grows green, On the banks of Sweet willowrie. If I should leave my house carpenter and go along with you And go along with you, Pray what have you to maintain me on, And keep me from slavery? I have seven ships all sailing on the sea, All sailing for dry land, One hundred and ten bold brave looking men, You may have them at your command. She went and dressed in her finest array, And slowly turned away, For she outshined the gliyyering gold, Most beautiful to behold. 8 She went and kissed her sweet little babe, She kissed it,she gave it three. Saying you stay here you dear darling little babe, And keep your Papa company. 9 They hadn’t been on ship two weeks or more, I’m sure it was not three, Until this lady was known to weep, And she wept most bitterly. 10 Oh,is it for my gold you weep, Or is it for my store, Or is it for that house carpenter, You never shall see any more? 11 It is not for your gold I weep, Neither is it for your store, But it’s for my dear darling little babe, I never shall see any more. 12 A curse, a curse to all seamen, A curse to you she cried, You have robbed me of my house carpenter, An here I shall lose my life. 13 They hadn’t been on ship three weeks or more, I’m sure it was not four, Until that ship did spring a leak, And it sank to rise no more. 14 O don’t you see them dark clouds rise As black as any crow? They’re the walls of Hell, They’re the walls of Hell and o’er them we must go!

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.

His name is called Captain Ward, As you the truth shall lms hear; For there's not been such a robber, This hundred and fifty years. He wrote a letter to our king, On the fifth of January, To see if he would take him in, And all his company. To see if he would accept of him, And all his jolly sailors bdd; And for a ramsom he would give, Two thousand pounds in gold. First he beguiled the wild Turks, And thenthe king of Spain; Pray how can he prove true to us, When he proves false to them! 0 no, 0 no! Tnen said the king, For no such things can be; For he has been a rank robber, And a robber on the sea. 0 then says Captain Ward my boys, Let's put to sea ~ain; And see what prizes we can find, On the coast of France and Spain. When we esp:Mcl a lofty ship, A sailing from the west; She was l eaded with silks and satins, And cambries ~f the best. Then we bore up to her straightway, They thinking no such a thing; We robbed them of their ~erchandise, Then bade them thell their king. And when their King did hear of this, His heart was grieved full sore, To think his ships coul0 not pass A~ they had done before. 'thedn he ca.v.sed a. worth~ ship n a worthy ship of :rame ' The Rainbow she was called, And the Rainbow was her name. �C.~AIN WARD - Cont'd He rigged her and freighted her, And sent her to the sea; With five hundred bold mariners, To bear her company . They sailed East, t hey sailed West, But no thing could espy; Until they came to the very spot, Where Captain Ward did lie. Who is the owner of this ship? The Rainbow then did cry ; Here I am sa.ys Captain Ward, Let no man me deny. What brought you here you cowardly dog, You ugly wanton theif, What makes you lie at anchor, And keep our king in grief. You lie, you lie, says Captain Ward, As ever I heard you lie, I never robbed an Englishman, An Englishman but three. Aq for the worthy Scotchmen, I love them a.s my ' own, My chief delight iR for to pull, The French and Spain~rds down. Why curse t hou so bold a robber, We'll soon humble your pride,' With that the gallant Rainbow, She shot out of her side. Full fif t y good brass cannons, Well charged on every side; And then they fired their great guns, And gave Ward a broadside. Fire on, ftre on, says Captain W rd, · I value you not a. pin: If you are brass on the outside, I am good steel within. They fought from eight o'clock in t he morn, Till eight o'clock at night, At length the gallant RPinbow, Began to take her flight. Go home, go home, says Captain Ward, And tell your king from me; ~ he reigns king upon dry land . will relgn king al; sea. ' �CAPTAIN WARD - Cont 'd With that the gallant Rainbow, She shot and shot in vain, And left the Rovers company, And home returned again. Tell our royal king of England, His ship is returned again; For Captain Ward is to strong, He never will be taken. 0 shame, 0 shame, said the king, For no such things can be For I have lost two thousand pounds Besides lost jewels three. The first was brave lord Clifford, Great earl of Cumberland ; The second was brave lord Mountjoy, As you shall understand. The third was brave lord Epex, From field would never flee, Who would have hone ,mto the sea; And brought proud Ward to me. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
