- (continued from previous page)He twined his arms around her neck
And thus to her did say,
In America I'ill prove true to you
My Lovely Irish Maid

But when you're in America
Some handsome maids you'ill see
They will be very handsome love
They will (be) thee remind of me
For in passing by each tower or peak
Or by each myrtle shade
You''ill think of the happy hours you
spent,
With your loved Irish Maid.

Orthat I prove un true
There is not a place where ere I roam
But still I'ill think on you
There is not a flower growing in the boures
Through mountain, vale, or shade
But will me remind of thee behind
My Lovely Irish Maid.
How many a youth that left their homes
To seek a foreign shore
To leave their friends and parents(continues on next page)- Collector
