   The morning of his trial day it would grieve your heart full sore
   To see his poor aged mother it would grieve you ten times more
   She reared a son a clergyman and his age scarce twenty-three
   That he should be put down in his prime by cruel perjury.
   The judge says "Now Fr. Tom, why dont you marry this fair
   I hear she is an equal for any lord or squire."
   Then Fr. Tom spoke up and says "I have no witness here
   But I will call on the Almighty, He can show my cause quite clear
   I said I would never marry her or will she ever be my wife
   I never knew a female from a man in all my life
   Well Tom since you wont marry her I will have you to understand
   That seven years you will be transported into a foreign land.
   "The case is bad but it could be worse" then Fr. Tom did say
   "Our Saviour suffered more than that He died on Calvary"
   Those words were scarce well spoken when a horse came swift as wind
   On him was a rider saying "I was not here in time
   Call that trial on again and I shall set him free
   She wants two fathers for her child that Fr. Tom and me
   The day her babe was born she gave me £100
   The day her babe was christened she gave me £300 more for to never to let on
   She wants two fathers for her child that is me and Fr. Tom
   Then Fr. Tom took off his hat and then began to smile
   He says unto his mother "See, God assists your child
   They spoke to one another and they found her perjury
   The villian was guilty and Fr. Tom set free.

   
   This song was forbidden to be sung, I have been told.
