12. Jackson was so stubborn; This is what he said:
"When you meet your sister in heaven, There will be no missing head."
13. In come Walter's mother, Pleading for her son: "Oh, gentlemen of the jury, Don't hang my only one."
14. The judge was so angry;
How his words did ring for the crime
These boys has committed:
"Tley are both sentenced to hang."
15. Pearlie's parents now in sorrow; Their fortune they give
If their darling girl could come back to them Her natural life to live.
16. Come, all of you young people, Take warning of Pearl's fate — Awfulest crime ever committed In the Ohio state. |

"Florilla." Obtained from Miss Mary King, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee, August, 1929.
1. Down by yon weeping willow where the violets gently bloom; Where sleeps my young Florilla, so silent in thy tomb.
She died not broken hearted, nor in sickness has she fell; But in one moment parted from those she loved so well.
2. One night as the moon shone brightly and soft over hill and dale; Up to this maiden's cottage her jealous lover came:
"Come, love, and let us wander down by yon meadow gay, And there we'll sit and ponder upon our wedding day." |
