1. Her Faithful Young Servant Man

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   It's of a damsel both fare and handsome.
   These lines are true as I have been told.
   On the banks of Shannon in a lofty mansion.
   Her parents claimed great stores of gold. Her hair was as black as the ravens feather.
   Her form and features describe who can.
   But there is a folly that belongs to nature.
   She fell in love with her servant man.

   As Mary Ann and her love was walking.
   'Twas close to them her father drew.
   And as those lovers were fondly talking.
   'Twas home in anger her father flew.
   To build a dungeon was his intention
   To part those true lovers he contrived a plan
   He swore an oath too wild to mention.
   He'd part this fare one from her servant man.
   III
   He built the dungeon of brick and mortar.
   A flight of steps 'twas under ground.
   The food he gave her was bread and water.
   The only cheer for her was found.
   Three times a day he did cruelly beat her.
   Until to her father she thus began,
   She said, "I have transgressed dear father,
   I'll live and die for my servant man.
