Unhappy Love
4 "O Mary dear, go and ask your mother If you my wedded bride might be; And if she says no, return and tell me, And 1*11 no longer trouble thee."
5 "O Willie dear, I dare not ask her, For I know she needs me here. You better go and court another And no longer linger here."
6 Willie drew a silver dagger, Thrust it into his aching heart, "Adieu, adieu, my dearest Mary, You and I forever part."
7 Mary picked up that blood-stained dagger, Thrust it into her lily-white breast, "Adieu, adieu, my dearest parents, Willie and I have gone to rest."
8 When her parents arose in the morning, They found how cruel that they had been,
For they caused the lives of those dearest children Now lie mould'ring in the tomb. |

Sung in 1935 by Mrs. Charles Mucbler, Kalkaska. A text very similar to A, with minor differences and the omission of stanza 8. |
