    Here I am a stranger last night...

    (continued from previous page)
    Do you go seek another one
    that she may be your bride
    Read the books of Alexander
    And there you'll find your fame
    Never place your mind on riches
    Or any earthly gain.
    From that unto Mount Haro
    Where Noah's Ark did stand
    From that unto mount Abraham
    Where Moses viewed the land.
    V
    I ne'er shall be a rover
    while I can wear a shoe
    Just like a loyal lover
    my dear, I'll mourn for you.
    I've ranged the whole wide world
