Good morning, Loving Nancy We have met in due time I'll ask you a question A whole pistol-crime Come and sit yourself beside me As long as you stay So fare you well, Nancy I'm goin' away Go put up your horses And feed them some hay So fare you well, Nancy I'll drive on my way Your wagons to grease? And your bills to pay So, come to set down aside me As long as you stay My wagons will grease? And my whips in my hand So fare you well, Nancy I'm leaving this land So was I next morning As soon as I arise I'll be crossing deep waters With tears in my eyes To think I must leave her To see her no more I left a-grievin' On a new river shore Some says I am rude Some says I am rough Some says I am guilty Of many bad crime I can prove them all liars By the power above I'm guilty of nothing But insolent? love My Papa don't like me And this well I know He says I'm not worthy To step up to his door
