    And you'll forget the days we met
    When roaming round the mill.
    And the time I used to watch you
    Coming down by Garrett's Hill."

    He says "dear Anne, I am not the man,
    That would prove so unkind And when I'm in America I'll think of you behind.
    And when your passage I will pay
    You will come with might good will
    And bid farewell to all your friends
    Round lovely Garrett's hill."
