On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
|
A lovely youth I knowed him well.
|
|
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo
|
|
This lovely youth one day did go
|
Down to the meadom for to mow.
|
|
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.
|
|
He scarce had mowed quite round the field
|
When a crul serpent bit his heel.
|
|
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.
|
|
They took him home to molly dear
|
Which made him feel so very gueer.
|
|
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.
|
|
Now Molly had two ruby lips
|
With which the poison she did sip.
|
|
Too roo de nay, too roo de noo.
|
|
Now Molly had a rotting tooth,
|
And so the poison killed them both.
