O Johnny is on the water
Let him sink or swim
For if he can live
without me
I can live without him
Johnny is a young boy
But still younger am
I
For how long has he told me
How constant he would be
I'll take off this black
dress
And I'll flourish in green
For I don't care if I'm forsaken
I am only
nineteen
O meeting is a pleasure
But to part with him was grief
But an
unconstant lover
Is worse than a thief
A thief can but rob you
And take what
you have
But an unconstant lover
Will take you to your grave
The grave it will
rot you
And turn you to dust
There is scarce one out of twenty
That a young girl can
trust
They will court you and kiss you
And get your heart warm
Then, as soon as
your back's turned
They'll laugh you to scorn
The cuckoo is a pretty bird
She
sings as she flies
She brings us good tidings
And tells us no lies
Forsaken,
forsaken
Forsaken am I
He will think himself mistaken
If he thinks that I'll
cry
@courtship @floaters
pieces of many songs
from Cox, Folk-Songs of the
South
