   Tune—Flowers of the Forest

To end youthful sporting it has been my fortune,
To marry a carter as you plainly see,
For he was my choice, and he has been my fortune,
And who lives so happy as Johnny and me.

So be not surprised at our hasty wedding,
I lov'd him because he was sober and young,
Altho' he's a carter we're lawfully married,
So who should despise us for what we have done.

His parents they lov'd me, for which I regard them,
I love to be grateful in every degree,
I love to be grateful, I ne'er shall be fretful,
While health does remain with my Johnny and me.

So take my advice, never marry for siller,
For 'tis bound to no man, we oftentimes see,
For this world's riches, ten thousand bewitches,
But love was the motive with Johnny and me.

5. A New Song on the Times
