    IV
    For nine nights I lay in longing and pain between two bushels bneath the rain.
    Thinking I would see my love once again.
    But whistles and calls were all in vain.
    Chorus
    V
    I would leave my people both friend and foe.
    And from all the girls in this world I'll go.
    But from you my sweetheart O never, O No.
    Till I'm laid in my coffin stretched cold and low.
