All joys are departed, all virtues the same, Since the clear skies of Cupid have caused me my grief, My heart's well nigh broken, I can ne'er find relief. My occupation, l'm a raftsman where the Flat River flows. l've printed my name on both rocks and the shore. In shops, farms and households l'm very well known, They call me Jack Haggarty, the pride of my town. My story I'll tell you without much delay. A neat little lassie my heart stole away. She was a miller's daughter, close by riverside And I always intended to make her my bride. Her form, like a lily, was slender and neat. Her hair hung in ringlets to her tiny white feet. Her voice was as sweet as the wind on a leaf. Her skin like the breast of the white smiling sea. I took her to supper, to parties and balls, Sunday morning went riding from the first time I call. I called her my darling, what a gem for a wife! When I think of her treachery, I could forfeit my life. I dressed her in the finest of muslins and lace And the finest of jewels that I could encase. I gave her my wages, the same to keep safe. I begrudged her of nothing I had on the place. I worked on the river and saved a lot of stake. I was steadfast and steady and ne'er played the rake. I was buoyant and smiling on the stiff boiling stream Her face was before me, it haunted my dream. One day on the river a note I received. She said from her promise herself she released. She'd wedded a lover she long since delayed And the next time l'd see her she'd not be a maid. Now getting this note sure caused some surprise. When I think of her now it brings tears to my eyes. For it filled me with anger and made me half mad. l'm weary and heartsick and wish myself dead. But it were on her mother I lay on the blame, She'd wrecked both our lives and blackened my name She'd thrown off the rigging that God would soon tie And made me a loner 'til the day that I die. On the banks of Flat River I no more can rest, So I told them my feeling and pulled for the west; I will go to Muskegon, a new job to find I'm leaving Flat River and a false love behind. Come all jolly raftsmen, so brave and so true Don't love a young girl, you'll be beat if you do; When you see a sweet lassie with bright golden curls Then remember Jack Haggarty and his Flat River girl. tune: another Villikens and his Dinah variant @logging @love filename[ FLATRVR play.exe FLATRVR RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Folk Song Army, Folksingers Are Boring, Folksingers Lament, Follow The Band, Follow The Drinking Gourd, Fools Of Forty Nine, Footprints On My Stomach, For Just One Dime, For Real, Force On The Workforce, Foremans Job, Forfar Soldier, Forlorn Lover, Forsaken Lover, Fortune My Foe, Forty Is Sporty, Fotheringay, Fountain Filled With Blood, Four Green Fields, Four Long Hours Of Driving, Four Loom Weaver, Four Pence A Day, Four Pounds A Day, Four Prominent Bastards, Four Strong Winds, Four Wet Pigs, Fourteen Days Leave, Fox, Fox Hollow Song, France Anthem Text, Frankie And Johnnie, Freeborn Man Of The Traveling People, Freedom Calling, Freedoms On The Wallaby, Freight Train, French Canadian Anthem Text, French Native Anthem Text, Friendly Fac And Green Beret, Frig The Flying Fortress, Friggin In The Riggin, Froggy He, From A Distanceby Julie Gold, Frosty The Snowman, Frozen Logger, Funeral Party, Funny Happy Birthday Song, Furry Day Carol, Fword, G Suits And Parachutes, Gairdner Child, 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
