No no my son not yet	W
That is an airy spot	X
And no man knows what treads the grass	P

We know what rascal might has defiled	X
The lofty innocence that it has slain	Y
Were we not born in the peasant's cot	X
Where men forgive if the belly gain	Y
More dread the life that we live	Z
How can the mind forgive	A2

What if there's nothing up there at the top	B2
Where are the captains that govern mankind	X
What tears down a tree that has nothing within it	X
A blast of the wind O a marching wind	X
March wind and any old tune	M
March march and how does it run	S

A girl I had but she followed another	C2
Money I had and it went in the night	X
Strong drink I had and it brought me to sorrow	D2
But a good strong cause and blows are delight '	-
All there caught up the tune	M
Oh on my darling man '	-
