as I was a walking

Tarry Trousers

as I was a walking one may morning

Viewing the lands and viewing the sea

Who did I meet but a tender mother

Talking to her daughter dear                    } Bis

O daughter O daughter I'll have you to marry

If you love your sweetheart so

no said she I would rather tarry

Tarry for a sailor boy                              }   Bis

Soldiers & sailors are all for a ramble

To some foreign lands they will go

They will leave you broken hearted

stay at home and do not go.

From Mrs anna Pond

Aug 16th 1904
