[00:11.56]As I went out one morning
[00:16.45]To breathe the air around Tom Paine’s
[00:22.35]I spied the fairest damsel
[00:27.70]That ever did walk in chains
[00:33.07]I offer’d her my hand
[00:38.37]She took me by the arm
[00:44.13]I knew that very instant
[00:49.53]She meant to do me harm
[00:51.28]
[01:00.75]“Depart from me this moment”“
[01:05.71]I told her with my voice
[01:11.38]Said she, “But I don’t wish to”
[01:16.73]Said I, “But you have no choice”
[01:22.19]“I beg you, sir,” she pleaded“
[01:27.60]From the corners of her mouth
[01:33.35]“I will secretly accept you“
[01:38.44]And together we’ll fly south”
[01:41.71]music
[01:50.40]Just then Tom Paine, himself
[01:55.00]Came running from across the field
[02:00.91]Shouting at this lovely girl
[02:05.75]And commanding her to yield
[02:11.21]And as she was letting go her grip
[02:17.06]Up Tom Paine did run,
[02:22.25]“I’m sorry, sir,” he said to me“
[02:27.51]“I’m sorry for what she’s done”“
