Local Songs (continued)
“In blooming May when flowers were gay”
(continued from previous page)and Kate was rich and bonny
I thought a dart went through my heart
When I gazed on my JohnnyI stole away without delay
My mind being agitated
But never more again I stray
Near that lone wood illfated
But soon this false young man had fled
And thinks of me no more
And sable care sits by my side
And never will part moreMay he never prosper, may he never thrive
Nor anything he takes in hand until the day he dies
And even the ground he walks upon,
May refuse the grass to grow
For he was the sole occasion
Of my sorrow and my woe
