Cat. #1501 (MFH #469) - As sung by Lula Davis, Fayetteville, Arkansas on February 14, 1963
VERSE 1
She's fair as th fairest
She's dressed like a queen
She's th handsomeous creature
That ever was seen
CHORUS:
Crying, O my lover's gone
He's th lad I adore
He's gone where I never
Shall see him anymore
VERSE 2
Th shells of the ocean
Shall be my death bed
An' th fish of th water
Shall float o'er my head
VERSE 3
She plunged her fair body
In th waters so deep
An' she closed her pretty blue eyes
In th water to sleep
