“How can you go abroad and fight with strangers?

You said you'd stay at home, here out of danger?

I'd roll you in my arms, my dearest jewel

So stay at home with me and don't be cruel”

“When I had gold in store, you seemed to love me
    Gm           Eb        Bb                F
Now I am low and poor, you mean to slight me
    Gm          Eb          Bb            F
You courted me awhile, just to deceive me

Now my poor heart you've won, you're going to leave me”

I am your only child, you have no other

'Tis fain to weep for me, for I am going
   Gm     Eb      F     Bb       F Bb
My love I love so dear, it is my ruin
