    (continued from previous page)
    But when he was dying I heard his last cry
    if you were hear lovely Nancy contented I die
    O Nancy lovely Nancy tis you are in my heart
    In your fathers garden tis there we did part
    In your fathers garden under a green shady tree
    I rolled you in my arms in my mantel so green.
