SRC THOR <strong>SONGBOOK</strong><br />
Blz. 78<br />
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy.<br />
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber<br />
I dreamed of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder<br />
Jenny drew my turgeous and she filled them up with water<br />
Then called far captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter<br />
It was early in the morning just before I rose to travel<br />
Up came the band and footmen and likewise captain Farrel<br />
I first produced my pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier<br />
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.<br />
If anyone can aid me it's me brother in the army<br />
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney<br />
If he come with me we’ll go roaming in Kilkenny<br />
I'm sure he'll take me better then me old missparting Jenny.<br />
WILD ROVER<br />
I've been a wild rover for many a year<br />
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer<br />
But now I’m returning with gold in great store<br />
And I never will play the wild rover no more.<br />
For it’s no nay never<br />
No nay never no more<br />
Will I play the wild rover<br />
No never no more.<br />
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent<br />
And I told the landlady my money was spent<br />
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay<br />
Such customs like yours I can hard any day.
