Oxford City (Jealous Lover)
2
In Oxford City lived a lady
3
And she was beautiful and fair
4
Oh, she was courted by a sailor
5
And he did love her as his dear
6
He said, "My dear, let us get married
7
Let us now no longer stay
8
I'll work for you both late and early
9
If you my wedded bride will be"
10
The girl she loved him, but at a distance
11
She did not seem to be quite so fond
12
He said, "My dear, you seem to slight me
13
I'm sure you love some other man"
14
He saw her dancing with some other
15
A jealous thought came to his mind
16
And to destroy his own true love
17
He gave to her a glass of wine
18
So soon she drank it, so soon she felt it
19
"Oh hold me fast, my dear," said she
20
"Is it that glass of wine you gave me
21
Takes my innocent life away?"
22
"That glass of wine now which I gave you
23
That glass of wine did strong poison hide
24
For if you won't be my true lover
25
You'll never be no other man's bride
26
"That glass of wine which now I gave you
27
It's I have drinked of the same," he said
28
"So in each other's arms we'll die together
29
To warn young men of jealousy"
30
"Oh hark, oh hark, the cocks are crowing
31
The daylight now will soon appear
32
And into my cold grave I'm going
33
And it's you, Willie, who called me here"
