   And to relieve her troubled mind, she kissed him o'er and o'er
   She gathered gran leaves from the trees to shade him from the sun
   And that night and day she passed away with her constant farmer's son.

   Hunger crept over the poor girl, she wept with woe
   And to make out the murderers she home straight away did go
   Saying parents dear ye soon will hear the dreadful deed that's done
   In yon green vale lies cold and pale my constant farmer's son.

   Up comes the eldest brother and said it was not me
   The same replied the younger one and swore most bitterly
   "Oh brothers dear, don't be so rude or try the law to shun
   For ye done the deed and ye will plead for my constant farmer's son".

   These villains they did own their guilt and for that same did I
   The doctors got their bodies to practice on them by
   But Mary's thoughts both day and night to relieve her love she did run
   In a mad house cell young Mary did dwell for her constant farmer's son.
