	Unhappy Love B Communicated in 1930 by Mrs. Rebecca Kraus, Ypsilanti.	121
	i One day young Johnny he did go Down in the meadow for to mow. Chorus Ri-too-di-od-dy-i, ri-too-di-od-dy-i, ri-too-di-od-dy, Oo-di-od-dy, oondi-od-dy-i. 2   He scarce had mowed twice round the field When a deadly sarpent bit him on the heel. 3   He threw his scythe upon the ground, And shut his eyes and looked all around. 4   He took that sarpent in his hand And went straight home to Sally Bland. 5   "O Sally dear, and do you see This pesky sarpent that bit me?" 6   "O Johnny dear, why did you go Down in the meadow for to mow?" 7   "O Sally dear, I thought you knowed Twas daddy's hay and it had to be mowed." 8   Now all young men, a warning take And don't get bit by a rattlesnake.
