    In that garden dear that grows.
    IV
    I married pretty Mary,
    Our hearts with joy were flowing,
    And then we settled down
    In a cottage here at home;
    But alas for human plannings,
    Ah, the bitter grief for me!
    In the autumn she was buried
    Neath the old Oak Tree.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
