Have ye heard of bold Sir Aager	A
How he rode to yonder isle	B
There he saw the sweet Eliza	C
Who upon him deign'd to smile	B
	-
There he married sweet Eliza	C
With her lands and ruddy gold	D
Wo is me the Monday after	A
Dead he lay beneath the mould	D
	-
In her bower sat Eliza	C
Rent the air with shriek and groan	E
All which heard the good Sir Aager	A
Underneath the granite stone	E
	-
Up his mighty limbs he gather'd	F
Took the coffin on his back	G
And to fair Eliza's bower	A
Hasten'd by the well known track	G
	-
On her chamber's lowly portal	H
With his fingers long and thin	I
Thrice he tapp'd and bade Eliza	C
Straightway let her bridegroom in	I
	-
Straightway answer'd fair Eliza	C
I will not undo my door	A
Till I hear thee name sweet Jesus	J
As thou oft hast done before	A
	-
Rise O rise my own Eliza	C
And undo thy chamber door	A
I can name the name of Jesus	J
As I once could do before	A
	-
Up then rose the sweet Eliza	C
Up she rose and twirl'd the pin	I
Straight the chamber door flew open	K
And the dead man glided in	I
	-
With her comb she comb'd his ringlets	C
For she felt but little fear	A
On each lock that she adjusted	L
Fell a hot and briny tear	A
	-
Listen now my good Sir Aager	A
Dearest bridegroom all I crave	M
Is to know how it goes with thee	N
In that lonely place the grave	M
	-
Every time that thou rejoicest	L
And thy breast with pleasure heaves	C
Then that moment is my coffin	I
Lin'd with rose and laurel leaves	C
	-
Every time that thou art shedding	O
From thine eyes the briny flood	L
Then that moment is my coffin	I
Fill'd with black and loathsome blood	L
	-
Heard I not the red cock crowing	O
Distant far upon the wind	L
Down to dust the dead are going	O
And I may not stop behind	L
	-
Heaven's ruddy portals open	K
Daylight bursts upon my view	P
Though the word be hard to utter	A
I must bid thee love adieu	P
	-
Up his mighty limbs he gather'd	L
Took the coffin on his back	G
To the church yard straight he hasten'd	L
By the well known beaten track	G
	-
Up then rose the sweet Eliza	C
Tear drops on her features stood	L
While her lover she attended	L
Through the dark and dreary wood	L
	-
When they reach'd the lone enclosure	A
Last sad refuge of the dead	L
From the cheeks of good Sir Aager	A
All the lovely colour fled	L
	-
Listen now my sweet Eliza	C
If my peace be dear to thee	N
Never then from this time forward	L
Shed a single tear for me	N
	-
Turn thy lovely eyes to heaven	K
Where the stars are beaming pale	Q
Thou canst tell me then for certain	K
If the night begins to fail	Q
	-
When she turn'd her eyes to heaven	K
All with stars besprinkled o'er	A
In the earth the dead man glided	L
And she never saw him more	A
	-
Homeward went the sweet Eliza	C
Oh her heart was chill and cold	L
Wo is me the Monday after	A
Dead she lay beneath the mould	L
