Songs (continued)
“He gave his friends good mornings the night they were to go.”
(continued from previous page)My corn it is not sseased upon
And my name is it John key,
Without a magestys order I will roll on the king's high way,
When the sergant saw himself in danger,
He gave his men come on.
With fingures swift there trickers pulled and powder they let fly,
As the Lord decreaded it there bullets passed us by,
Our musket ball's fell on these walls
There door's and windows tore
Five of the boldings peeler's lay bleeding in there gore.
