Brewster: Ballads and Songs of Indiana 49
8. "I will not hand you down my hand/'
Way down, way down; "I will not hand you down my hand,"
Way down by the sea. "I will not hand you down my hand, And I will have your house and land."
I'll be true to my love
If my love'Il be true to me.
9. "O Sister, O Sister, hand down your glove,"
Way down, way down; "O Sister, O Sister, hand down your glove,"
Way down by the sea. "O Sister, O Sister, hand down your glove And you may have my own true love."
Ill be true to my love
If my love'Il be true to me.
10. "I will not hand you down my glove," Way down, way down; "I will not hand you down my glove,"
Way down by the sea. "I will not hand you down my glove, And I will have your own true love." I'll be true to my love If my love'U be true to me.
D

1. There was an old man lived on the seashore, Bow bans to me,2 And he had daughters three or four. I'll be true to my love If my love will be true to me. |
