Rosy Banks Of Green Lyrics by Figgy Duff

0

From the Figgy Duff version of the tune:
Come all of you, good people, I pray you will attend
And listen to my story in sorrow I dispend
Concerning a young sailor who did plow the raging main
And his own dear darling Josephine on the rosy banks of green
This couple had been schoolmates in childhood's early days
When he was but a school boy, he stole her heart away
She was loved by lords and squires, but their love was all in vain
For she dearly loved her sailor on the rosy banks of green
'Twas early on Sunday morning down in her father's grove
Sat Josephine conversing with the boy she dearly loved
With kisses and embraces for his own dear Josephine
Saying, Tonight we will be far away from the rosy banks of green
Her father overheard them, in anger could not stand
He then jumped out upon them with a loaded gun in hand
Saying, Die you, cruel sailor; no more you'll plow the main
For tonight you will be far away from the rosy banks of green
He aimed the deadly weapon, the fatal trigger drew
And Josephine like lightening in her lovers arms she flew
The bullett left the muzzle, it's aim so true and keen
And they both fell down together on the rosy banks of green
As Josephine lay dying, those words I heard her say
I'm glad my dear old mother never lived to see this day
In the higher seats of glory, a witness she has been
To the murder of her daughter on the rosy banks of green
Come all of you, good people, I pray you will draw near
Listen to my sad story; in sorrow shed a tear
It was of that brave young sailor and his own dear Josephine
And they both lay down together on the rosy banks of green
