Song transcription:
It was of a fair maid in Oxford City
The truth to you I now will tell
'Twas of a servant, a young man courted
He ofttimes told her he loved her well.
'Twas of a servant, a young man courted
He ofttimes told her he loved her well.
'Twas of a servant, a young man courted
He ofttimes told her he loved her well.
She loved him too much, but at a distance
She did not seem to be very fond
He said, "My dear, you seem to slight me
I think you love some other man."
"Or else my dear, why can't we marry?
And then together we'll end all strife
I will work for you both late and early
If you will be my sweet wedded wife."
"O no, my dear, we are too young to marry,
Too young to incline those marriage banns
For when we are married we're bound for ever,
My dear, then all our joys are fled."
It was very soon after, this young damsel
Was invited out to a dance, you know.
This jealous young man he followed after,
And he soon preparèd for an overthrow.
As she was a-dancing with another
This jealous young man he filled his mind
For to destroy his own true lover
Some poison he mixed in a glass of wine.
And very soon after she had drunk it
"Oh take me home, my dear" she cried,
"This glass of wine you so lately gave me
Has made me as ill as ill can be."
As they were a-going home together
These words to her he then did say
"I gave you poison all in your liquor
To take your tender life away."
"And I have drank the same, my jewel,
And I shall die as well as thee."
So in each other's arms they dièd
Young men be aware of all jealousy.
