    Young men and young maidins, I pray lend an ear

    (continued from previous page)
    V
    Betsy's own father stood at his
    Own gate
    Like a man in forlorn
    Bewailing his fate
    The young Lord approached him
    To afford him relief
    And begged he might tell him
    The cause of his grief.
    VI
    Oh! I had but one daughter
    The old man did say
    And now she lies low
    In sweet Ballintownbray
    T'was all for a young Lord
    That caused her to stray
    Far away from my friends
    In sweet Ballintownbray.
