A Deacon's fair daughter, his own heart's delight. For oh! she was handsome, both charming and neat, But her heart, it was treacherous and full of deceit. A young man he courted her, a gay gallant youth, Who was much respected for fame and for truth. He courted this damsel; 'twas known far and wide That it was his intentions to make her his bride. The day was appointed; each had a new dress, And they being published, invited their guests. Oh, young man, be careful; be courteous and wise, For there's sad disappointments in many a prize. In the middle of the night, when her parents were asleep, This false-hearted lady from the window did creep. All things being ready, the plot was all laid. There stood her young gallant, a blacksmith by trade. Then into the wagon; away they both flew, For the wicked will flee when there's none to pursue. She left her dear parents, their houses and land, And on the next day gave that blacksmith her hand. Her parents being pious, they both loved the Lord. They were followers of Jesus, believed in his words. Straight 'way to their closets they both did repair And poured out their hearts to their Saviour in prayer. When Jesus our Saviour the last trum' shall sound, And myriads of angels attending Him down. He'll call home his people whom earth now despise And in mercy will wipe all their tears from their eyes. And now this young man, being deprived of his bride, "Oh, false-hearted lady," in pity he cried. "May God grant you pardon for the false oath you swore, So farewell, false-hearted Emily, farewell forever more." note: A distinctly middle-class view of romantic elopement RG From Ballads Migrant in New England, Flanders Collected from Edna Hewitt Tryon, North Stonington, CT 1945 @marriage @elope @moral filename[ DEACDAUT play.exe DEACDAUT RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Deck Us All, Deep Blue Sea, Deep River, Deep River Blues, Degrassi High Theme, Degrassi Junior High Theme, Delaware River, Delias Gone, Demi Said To Me, Demon Lover, Denmark Anthem Text, Denmark Native Anthem Text, Der Steirische Brauch, Derby Ram, Derby Town, Deserter, Desolation, Desperado, Destroyer Song, Det aer Inte Laett Att Vara oedmjuk, Deutschland ?ber Alles, Devil And Feathery Wife, Devil And The Farmers Wife, Devilish Mary, Devils Nine Questions, Diana, Dicey Reilly, Dick Darby The Cobbler, Did She Mention My Name, Diddle Em Darby, Didnt He Ramble, Dido Bendigo, Dido Fido, Die Gute Kamerad, Die Sch?ne Burgenl?nderin, Diesel And Shale, Dillan Bay, Ding Dong Merrily On High, Dinkie Die, Dinkie Die Usmc Wwii Korea, Dinks Song, Director Of Admissions, Dirty Old Man, Dirty Old Town, Discovery, Dit is Een Lied Alleen Voor Kinderen, Divers And Lazarus, Dixie, Dixon And Johnson, Do Ye Ken John Peel, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
