    Twas there she met the Colonel,
    And to him a curtesy dropped,
    I want your Honour in private,
    I have a broken heart.

    He then began to smile,
    So kindly he consented,
    And for her stepped aside.

    "Be quick! my decent woman
    To hear you I'm inclined
    And if I think your claim is fair
    I'll see your justified"

    She is a foolish lass,
    She's courted by one of your soldiers
    His name is Johnny Hart"
