Lyrics

[00:00.95] music
[00:11.63] As I went out one morning
[00:16.67] To breathe the air around Tom Paine’s
[00:23.48] I spied the fairest damsel
[00:27.88] That ever did walk in chains
[00:33.42] I offer’d her my hand
[00:38.85] She took me by the arm
[00:44.54] I knew that very instant
[00:49.89] She meant to do me harm
[01:01.22]
[01:01.85] “Depart from me this moment”
[01:06.23] I told her with my voice
[01:11.67] Said she, “But I don’t wish to”
[01:17.25] Said I, “But you have no choice”
[01:23.14] “I beg you, sir,” she pleaded
[01:28.16] From the corners of her mouth
[01:33.91] “I will secretly accept you
[01:39.09] And together we’ll fly south”
[01:42.62] music
[01:51.74] Just then Tom Paine, himself
[01:55.72] Came running from across the field
[02:02.29] Shouting at this lovely girl
[02:06.42] And commanding her to yield
[02:11.99] And as she was letting go her grip
[02:18.15] Up Tom Paine did run,
[02:25.56] “I’m sorry, sir,” he said to me
[02:28.45] “I’m sorry for what she’s done”
[02:31.83] music
