john tams - hugh stenson and molly green lyrics
oh bold hugh stenson is my name from ashbourne in the peak i came and at the age of seventeen i fell in love with molly green
poor pity then this sorrowed state king george’s army it is my fate all for the shilling that p-ssed between has parted me from molly green
she is a beauty i do declare she come from high church in shropshire she was an angel all in my eye which made me from my colours to fly
but when i was all upon the seas i could not take one moments ease she was daily all in my eyes home to her side then i did fly
stenson, she said, i pray forbear i know that you a deserter are and if my parents should come to know how soon they’d prove your overthrow
so to wollerton near nottingham where i put my trust in a false young man thinking him a friend to be but he like judas betrayed me
then a court martial there was called and i was brought before them all and for deserting they did me try and they condemned me for to die
from january until july upon these boards and stones i lie and when i die without control let this sore scene sink in your soul
come all young men where e’er you be i bid you warning take by me for at the age of seventeen i fell in love…
