The falling waters I do ſee,
the dove become a ranger,
Such heavy thoughts ran in my mind,
the hour I meant to change her;
Ye Powr’s above protect I pray,
the cautious fair that binds me,
And ſend me ſafely home again,
to the girl I left behind me.

THE ANSWER.
YOU maidens all come pity me,
and be no more diſdaining,

and I am ſtill repining,
Into ſome diſtant land I’ll go,
to ſee whether I can find him.

with grief both night and morning;
The tales of love he told to me,
he never would deceive me,
It was this cruel, cruel war,
that cauſed him to leave me.

Although the ſtorm e’er ſo ſtrong,
and cannons loudly rattle,
I’ll go to ſee for my true love,
into the field of battle,
And if my true love thould be ſlain,

I’ll go to ſee for my true love,
into the field of battle,
And if my true love thould be ſlain,
