Banks of Sweet Dundee Pt. 2

"Be gone, unruly female, for happy thou shalt not be

I mean to banish William

From the banks of Sweet Dundee"Her uncle and the Squire rode out one summer's day

"Young William is in favor," her uncle he did say

"Indeed, it's my intention to hang him from a tree

Or else to bribe the press gang

On the banks of Sweet Dundee"The press gang came to William when he was all alone

He boldly fought for liberty, but there were three to one

The blood it flowed in torrents

"Pray kill me now," said he. "I would rather die for Mary

On the banks of Sweet Dundee"Young Mary was out walking, lamenting for her love

She met the wealthy squire down in her uncle's grove

He threw his arms around her

"Stand off base man," said she

"You took the only man I loved

From the banks of Sweet Dundee"He clasped his arms around her

And tried to throw her down

Two pistols and a sword she spied

Beneath his undergown

Young Mary took the pistols

And the sword he used so free

She did fire and shot the Squire

On the banks of Sweet DundeeHer uncle overheard the noise

And hastened to the ground

"O, since you shot the Squire

I will give you your death-wound"

"Stand back then," said young Mary

"For undaunted I will be"

She trigger drew, her uncle slew

On the banks of Sweet Dundee
