She's neither the better or worse for me;
She came to me with her horse and saddle,
She may go back in her coach and three.'

With both their hearts so full of glee:

Now since Sophia has crossed the sea.'

1 There was a man lived in the West,
Sing bow down, bow down
There was a man lived in the West,
The bow was bent to me
There was a man lived in the West,
He loved his youngest daughter best;
So you be true to your own true-love
And I'll be true to thee.
