lyrics

In Yorkshire near Rotherham I lived in contentment
Loved a young girl and i told her my mind
my tender lover she being some rover
in anger my parents to her proved unkind

Eat drink and be jolly and care not for folly
drown away sorrows in bottles of wine
pass it to the boys in those full flowing bumpers
and play on thy fiddle to pass away time

Its a great seperation my parents have caused me
by baring my spite so their favor was won
its a great seperation like wise a vexation
and they’ll be sorry for what they have done

Adieu to bon county i’m bound for to leave you
to seek my hearts fortune in some foreign line
happy we may be at our next meeting
and upon that day we may join heart and hand

Farewell to my friends and my dear old companies
like wise the girl that i’ll not see again
this world is wide and i’ll range it in pleasure
and care not for those who’ve laid scorn out so plain

My portion is small and i now do confess it
what little i have it is all of my own
i might have had longer to spend it in pleasure
if my cruel parents had left me alone
