Both high and low attention give
And quickly you shall
hear
It's of a maiden fair and gay
Who lived in Lincolnshire
Her cheeks like blooming
roses red
On a face appeared a smile
This fair one's name was lovely Jane
The rose of
Britain's Isle
She was a farmer's daughter
His pride and only joy
And when
eighteen she fell in love
With her father's apprentice boy
Young Edmond lived
contented
Jane did his heart beguile
By all above, he cried, I love
The rose of
Britain's Isle
Oh when her father came to know
This couple a courting were
He in an
angry passion flew
How dreadful he did swear
Saying, If you bring disgrace on me
I'll
send you many a mile
With great disdain you'll cross the main
From the rose of Britain's
Isle
Young Edmond on board a ship was sent
To sail across the main
While Jane
at home did weep and mourn
Her bosom swelled with pain
She dressed herself in sailor's
clothes
And in a little while
On board of the ship with Edmond went
The rose of
Britain's Isle
They had not been many days at sea
When a storm it did arise
And
when young Edmond went aloft
Jane wept with tearful eyes
Twas little did young Edmond
know
That Jane did on him smile
Or by his side did stand his bride
The rose of
Britain's Isle
It was when they came near the coast of Spain
The enemy gave the
alarm
And by a ball, young Jane did fall
Which shattered her left arm
The seamen ran
to lend their aid
While Jane in agony smiled
The surgeon beheld some maid
Tis the
rose of Britain's Isle
Young Edmond he was sore surprised
And troubled with much
pain
And when young Jane recovered
They were both sent home again
And the people were
with wonder struck
And the villagers did smile
Saying, you're welcome back, young
Edmond
And the rose of Britain's Isle
Her father being dead and gone
Most
joyful to relate
And all his gold, he willed to Jane
Likewise a large estate
And they
were married while the bells did ring
And the villagers did smile
Long and happy may young
Edmond reign
With the rose of Britain's Isle
