  1. (continued from previous page)
    The horseman he dismounted and tired seemed to be
    Hold on, hold on this court again I was not here in time
    I'm here to tell you all the truth and clear the Good Divine
    A thousand pounds she gave to me the night her babe was got
    A thousand more she promised me never to let on
    And she thought she'd make a husband of the Revd. Father Tom
    She can't have two fathers for her child
    Thats Father Tom and me
    This villian she was found guilty
    And his reverance went home free.
