I Am a Youth That's Inclined to Ramble
Cara Dillon

I am a youth that's inclined to ramble

To some foreign country, I mean to steer

I am loath to part from my friends and comrades

And my dear sweetheart, whom I loved dear


But there's one of those, I do most admire

One her, I'll think when I'm far away

For since fates decreed, I am resolved to part her

And try my fortune in Americay


So farewell, darling, I must leave you

I place great dependence on your constancy

That no other young man may gain your favor

Or change your mind when I am over the sea


For although the seas do separate us

And in between us, they do rise and fall

If fortune favors me you'll find your Jamie

Returning homeward from Americay


Oh Jamie dear, do you remember

When I sat with you for manys the hour

And my young fancy away was carried

And the bees hummed around on each opening flower


But when you're crossing the western ocean


The maid that loved you, you'll never mind eva'

And you'll scarce ever think upon the maids of Erin

For you'll find strange sweethearts in America


Oh Mary dear, I don't dissemble

For to all other fair maids, I'll prove untrue

And if you think that these are false promise

I'll leave these vows as a pledge to you


That what I have may prove unsuccessful

And fortune prove to me a slippery ball

That a favoring gale it may never blow on me

If forsake you in America


And to conclude and to end these verses

May God protect this young female fair

And keep her from every wild embarrassment

And of, my darling, take the greatest care


For she's slow to anger and of kind disposition

And her cheeks like roses in June do blow

In my nightly slumbers when ever I think on her

I could court her vision in America
