- (continued from previous page)I begged for permission to stay. She'd not listen.
The sweet little lassie said "No sir, No, go"
And when I had vanished, in being thus banished,
My heart staid with Nancy while kneading the dough.I'm dreaming in fancy I see you sweet Nancy;
Your heart it has warmed and pitied me so;
And now we are rich, in a dainty wee kitchen,
While Nancy, sweet Nancy, stands kneading the dough.Twelve years soon went past, and I lost my sweet lass;
Then life's sunny morning was soon draped in woe.
But in dreams I oft see her in the little bog shanty,
And hear her sweet strains while she's kneading the doughI long shall respect her; I ne'er can forget her
Till in death's lonely valley my head is laid low;
And no music on earth is to me so enchanting
As the notes sung by Nancy while kneading the dough.
