Lyrics
In Newport Street it was reported A comely woman there did dwell And by a serving man was courted Who loved this lady exceeding well He says, "My dear, let us get married Oh dearest love, don't you dislike me I’ll work for you both late and early If you my wedded wife will be" She says, "Kind sir, let us consider We are both yet too young to wed When we are married we're bound together Let us live single for another year" But then he saw her dancing with some other A jealous thought ran into his mind For to destroy his own true lover He gave her poison in a gla** of wine She drank the wine and then she halted "Oh dearest love, oh and pray take me For the gla** of wine you just now gave me Makes me as sick as I can be" As they were walking home together These very words he told to her "That gla** of wine I just now gave you It will soon take your sweet life away"
