Brewster: Ballads and Songs of Indiana 25
5. "As you go out to yonders town,
Every rose grows merry in time, Give my respects to that young man; Then he shall be a true lover of mine.
6. "Tell him to plow it with a young ram's horn,
Every rose grows merry in time, And plant it all over with one grain of corn ; Then he shall be a true lover of mine.
7. "Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather,
Every rose grows merry in time, And bind it all in a peafowl feather; Then he shall be a true lover of mine." |

1. "If you go up to town tonight,
Ly flum a lum a licker sloma, Just hand this note to that young miss, Turn a tiest turn a tiste turn a tinest Ly flum a lum a licker sloma.
2. "And tell her to make me a fine shirt,
Ly flum a lum a licker sloma, And make it out of an old cotton sheet, Turn a tiest turn a tiste turn a tinest Ly flum a lum a licker sloma.
3. "And tell her to sew it with her gold ring,
Ly flum a lum a licker sloma, And every stitch a foot between,
Turn a tiest turn a tiste turn a tinest Ly flum a lum a licker sloma. |
