- (continued from previous page)Said I to her my charming maid
Can I grant you relief
For I would die to sooth your sigh
Or alleviate your grief
'Neath a fallin' sky my Irish boy
Is fighting on the plain
May God above may send back my love
Down by the river Fane. I was by the side of John McBride
When your lover was laid low
I seen him fall by a cannon ball
One evening in Glensour
To his bedside before he died
Your lover called on me
And he made my bring this broken ring
To you across the sea
He told me when I'd see you
His faith for to explain
That no more he'd talk or with you walk
Down by the river Fane.Jewels of gold and wealth untold
And servants by your side
So be content and give consent
To be my future bride
Had you wealth untold or England's gold(continues on next page)- Collector
