    (continued from previous page)
    I flattered her on
    To a sweet shady grove,
    I promised her faithful
    To make her my love;
    To prove her a Virgin
    I then set a snare,
    But had no thought of wronging
    Young Ellen Maguire.
    The devil's temptation
    Soon entered my heart,
    I thought to violate her
    On that very spot -
    I took out my knife
    And cut off her long hair,
    And tied both the hands
    Of young Ellen Maguire.
