American Old Time Song Lyrics: 04 The Villain Still Pursued Her
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4
The Villain Still Pursued Her.
I'll sing about a beauty,
Who in Irish town does dwell,
With her father and mother,
In a boarding-house hotel.
There is a villain wanted to marry her,
Before he ever knew her;
She left her home and run away,
And the villain still pursued her.
This girl then left her home,
Likewise her native place;
One day while walking through the park,
She met the villain face to face;
He grasped her by the lily white hand,
And he popped the question to her,
She seized the tongs and wrenched his breath-
And the villain still pursued her.
She traveled on for miles-
At last she drew a pop
And shot him four times through the heart,
And still he would not stop;
Shew drew a sword, and cut him
Right and left, when he came to her-
She killed him dead, and away she went-
And the villain still pursued her.
