B
"The Romish Lady." Contributed by Mrs. T. M. Bryant, of Evans-ville, Indiana. Vanderburg- County. Learned from the singing; of her mother, who knew the entire song. December 31, 1935.
1. There was a Romish lady,
Brought up in popery; Her mother had always taught her The priest she must obey.
2. Assisted by her servant,
Her Bible she concealed, And thereby was instructed
Until God his love revealed. |

3. "O pardon me, dear mother,
I humbly pray thee now, For unto these false idols I can no longer bow.
4. "Just take from me those idols
And pictures framed in gold, And give to me my Bible
Which from me has been stole." |
