	SAYS NANCY TO ME WHEN I PARTED. Says Nancy to me when I parted From her, on this voyage off to go, " Oh! Jack, I shall be so down-hearted," Whenever I hear a gale blow; There you to the rocking yards clinging, In the howling gusts, still I shall see; And your Nancy her hands will be wringing Thinking, lost to your Nancy, you'll be; Horror-dumb, I shall see you, Jack, falling, Head-first, to the billows beneath, And to save you, on kind 'Heaven calling, I shall, swooning, join you, lad, in death."
