And I will fight with Barnwell
upon the mountains high.

When you come on the mountains
by yourſelves all alone,
You will be far from any town,
you'll be far from your own;
You'll be far from any city,
no one will you come nigh;
So uſe my brother kindly
upon the mountains high.

Vender stands Captain Barnwell,
a-bending of his bow;
He's wating for young Samuel,
all for to be his foe:
O come you here, young Samuel,
and unto me draw nigh,
For here I mean to ſlay thee
upon the mountains high.

O ſlay me not, ſays Samuel,
O ſlay me not, ſays he;
O ſlay me not, ſays Samuel,
are you ſo cowardly;
For this time, Captain Barnwell,
I've got no ſhots for thee:
So ſlay me not, ſays Samuel,
here ſo cowardly.
