I would that the wars &c.

Taken down from S. Fone, Mch. 28, 1893 by F.W.B.

1. ‘Twas down in the meadows where the violets are blue
I saw pretty Polly a-milking her cow.
The song that she sung made all the grove ring
“O my Billy’s gone from me to serve George the King
And I I would that the wars were well over
Crying O that the wars were well over!

2. I steppéd up to her & made this reply
I said pretty Polly what makes you to cry?
My Bill is gone from me, that I love so dear
And the ‘Mericans will kill him, so great is my fear
And I would that the wars were well over
Crying O &c.

3. I said, Pretty Polly can you fancy me?
I’ll make you as happy as happy can be.
O no, pretty Sir, I can never love you,
To my Billy alone I am constant & true
And I would that the wars were well over
Crying O &c.
