J E M M Y AND NANCY
OF
YARMOUTH.
OR,
The Constant Lovers.
IN F O U R
PARTS.
FALKIRK:
P R I N T E D FOR T H E
BOOKSELLERS.
�JEMMY AND NANCY.
ALL lovers, I pray lend an ear to my story,
Take an example by this constant pair,
For love this young virgin did blast in her glory,
Beautiful Nancy of Yarmouth we hear.
She was a merchant's only daughter,
Heir unto fifteen hundred a-year:
A young man courted her, call'd her his jewel,
The son of a gentleman who lived near.
Many long years this maid he admired,
When but very young in love they agreed ;
And when come of age this couple arrived,
Cupid an arrow between them display'd.
Their tender hearts were linked together,
But when their parents the same did hear,
They to their charming young beautiful daughter,
Acted a part that was base and severe.
Daughter, they said, give over proceeding,
If that against our consent you do wed,
For evermore we resolve to disown you,
If you wed. with one who so meanly is bred.
Her mother said, you have a great fortune.
Besides your charming beautiful and young ;
You are a match, dear child, that is fitting
For any Lord that's in Christendom.
Then did reply this young beautiful virgin,
Riches and honour I both do deny,
If I'm deprived of my dearest lover,
Then farewell the world, which is all vanity.
�3
Jemmy's the man that I do admire,
He is the riches that I do adore;
For to be great I never desire,
My heart is fixed never to love more.
Then, said her father, 'tis my resolution,
Altho' I have no more daughters but thee,
If that with him ye resolve for to marry,
Banish'd for ever from me shalt thou be.
Well, cruel father, but this I desire,
Grant me that my Jemmy once more I may see,
Tho' you do part us, I still will be loyal,
For none in the world I admire but he.
For the young man he sent in a passion,
Saying, for ever, Sir, now take your leave,
I have a match more fit for my daughter,
Therefore it is but a folly to grieve.
Honoured father, said the young lady,
Promis'd we are to each other in love;
Why of all comforts will you bereave me
Our love is fixed never to remove.
Then, said her father, a trip to the ocean
You first shall go in a ship of my own;
And I'll consent you shall have my daughter,
When into Yarmouth again you return.
Honoured Sir, then said the two lovers,
Since 'tis your will, we are bound to obey :
Our constant heart can never be parted,
But our eager desire no longer can stay.
Then said kind Nancy, behold, my dear Jemmy,
Here take this ring, the pledge of our vow;
With it my heart; keep it safe in your bosom ;
Carry it with you wherever you go.
?
�4
Then in his arms he close did enfold her,
While the crystal tears like a fountain did flow,
Crying, my heart in return I do give you,
And you shall be present wherever I go.
When on the ocean, I am sailing,
The thoughts of my jewel with the compass I steer,
These tedious long days swift time will devour,
And bring me home safe to my lovely dear.
Therefore be constant, my dear lovely jewel,
For if that ye shall unto me prove untrue,
My troubled ghost shall torment you for ever;
Dead or alive I will have none but you.
Her lovely arms round his neck she twined,
Saying, my dear, when you are on the seas,
If that the waves unto us should prove cruel,
That we each other no more may see,
No man alive shall ever enjoy me.
Soon as the tidings of death reach my ear,
Then, like a poor unfortunate lover,
Down to the grave I will go to my dear.
Then with a sorrowful sigh he departed ;
The wind the next morning blew a pleasant gale;
All things being ready, the fam'd Mary Galley
Away for Barbadoes she straightway set sail.
Jemmy was floating upon the wide ocean,
And her cruel parents were plotting the while,
How that the heart of their beautiful daughter,
With cursed gold they should strive to beguile.
Many a lord of fame, birth, and breeding,
Came for to court this young beautiful maid;
But their rich presents and proffers she slighted,
Constant I'll be to my jewel, she said.
�5
Now for a while we'll leave this fair maiden,
And tell how things with her lover did go,
At length at Barbadoes the ship safe arrived,
But now observe these lovers overthrow.
P A R T II.
JEMMY was comely in every feature,
A Barbadoes lady, whose fortune was, great,
So fix'd her eyes, that she cried, if I have not
This brave English sailor, I'll die for his sake.
She then dress'd herself in a gallant attire,
With costly diamonds she plaited her hair:
A hundred slaves to run with her c a r ;
She sent for this young man to come unto her.
Come, handsome sailor, she cried, can you fancy
A lady, who fortune and riches are great ?
You shall have a hundred slaves to attend you,
Music to charm you till you fall asleep.
In robes of gold, my dear, I will deck you,
Pearls and rich jewels I'll lay at your f e e t ;
In a fine gilded chariot you shall ride at pleasure,
If you can love me, now answer me straight.
Amazed with wonder, a while he stood gazing !
Forbear, noble lady, at length he replied,
in England I've vow'd unto a young lady,
Upon my return to make her my bride.
She is a charming, young, beautiful creature,
She has my heart, I can love none m o r e ;
I bear in my eve her sweet lovely feature,
No other creature on earth i adore.
Hearing of this she did rave in distraction,
Crying, unfortunate maid, thus to love
One that does slight all my glory,
And who of my person he will not approve.
�6
Lords of renown I their favour have slighted,
O now I must languish for a sailor bold !
I cannot blame him because he is constant,
True love is better than silver or gold.
A costly jewel she instantly gave him,
Then in her trembling hand took a knife;
One fatal stroke before they could save her,
Quickly did put an end to her life.
Great lament was made for this lady,
Jemmy on board the ship he did steer,
Unto old England he homeward came sailing,
With a long desire to meet with his dear.
But when her father heard he was returning,
He wrote a letter to the boatswain his friend,
Saying, a handsome reward I will give you,
If you the life of young Jemmy will end.
Void of all mercy, and for sake of the money,
The cruel boatswain the same did complete;
As they upon the deck were one day walking,
He suddenly tumbled him into the deep.
PART III.
IN dead of the night, when all were asleep,
His troubled ghost to his love did appear,
Crying, arise, my beautiful Nancy,
Perform the vow that you made to your dear.
You are my Own, therefore tarry no longer;
Seven long years for your sake I did stay !
Hymen doth wait for to crown us with pleasure,
The bride-guests are ready, then come away.
She cried, who's there, under my window ?
Surely it is the voice of my dear !
Lifting her head from her soft downy pillow,
traight to t h e casement she did repair.
�7
By light of the moon, which brightly was shining,
She spy'd her lover, who to her did say,
Your parents are sleeping, before they awake
Stir my dear creature, and come away.
O
Jemmy, she cry'd, if my father should hear,
We both shall be ruin'd, I pray thee repair
Unto the sea-side, I'll there meet with you,
With my two maids I'll meet with you there.
Her night-gown embroider'd with gold and silver,
Carelessly round her body she instantly throws,
With her two maids who did attend her,
To meet her lover she instantly goes.
Close in his arms did the spirit enfold her,
Jemmy, she said, you are colder than clay !
Sure you're not the man that I do admire ;
Paler than death you appear unto me.
Yes, fairest creature, I am your true love;
Dead or alive, you know your my own !
I come for thy vow, my dear, you must follow
My body now to a watery tomb.
I, for your sake, refus'd gold and silver;
Beauty and riches for you I despis'd ;
A charming lady for me did expire ;
For thinking on you I was deaf to her cries.
Your cruel parents have been my undoing,
And now I do sleep in a watery grave ;
Now for thy promise, my dear, I am shewing,
Dead or alive now you I must have.
P A R T IV.
THE trembling lady was sorely affrighted!
Amazed she stood near the brink of the sea !
With eyes lifted up, she cried, cruel parents,
you be requited for your cruelty.
�8
She then cried aloud, my dear, I am coming,
Now into thy bosom I'll soon fall asleep !
When she had thus spoken, this unfortunate lady
Suddenly plunged herself into the deep.
When to her father the maidens thus told,
He wrung his hands, saying what have I done!
Oh ! dearest child, it was thy cruel father
That did provide thee a watery tomb.
Two or three days being then expired,
These two unfortunate lovers were seen
In each others arms on the waves afloating,
By the side of the ship on the watery main.
The cruel boatswain was struck with horror,
Straight did confess the deed he had done ;
Shewing the letter that came from her father,
Which was the cause of those lovers doom.
On board of ship he was tried for the murder,
And at the yard's arm was hang'd for the same ;
Her father he soon brake his heart for his daughter
Before that the ship into the harbour came.
This cursed gold has caused distraction,
Why should the rich covet still after gain ?
I hope this story it will be a warning,
That cruel parents may ne'er do the same.
True love is better than jewels or treasure;
Riches can never buy true love I k n o w ;
But this young couple loved out of measure,
Love was the cause of their overthrow.
FINIS.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The subject of this ballad is parental opposition to the lovers, Jemmy and Nancy. Returning to England from a forced voyage to Barbados, Jemmy is pushed overboard by a fellow crewman on instructions from Nancy’s father. His ghost appears to Nancy, who throws herself into the sea; the boatswain is hanged and the father dies of a broken heart. Despite his death of a broken heart, the father neither repents of his action nor recognizes his actions as sinful.

I came from ole Kentucky,
A long time ago,
Where 1 first larned to wheel about,
And jump Jim Crow.
Wheel about, and turn about, and do jis so
Ebry time I wheel about, I jump Jim Crow
I us'd to take him fiddle,
Ebry morn and afternoon,
And charm de ole buzzard,
And dance to de racoon.
Wheel about, &c.
I landed fust at Liverpool,
Dat place of ships and docks,
I strutted down Lord Street,
And ask'd de price of stocks.
Wheel about, &c.
1 paid my fare den up to town,
On de coach to cut a dash
De axle-tree soon gave way,
And spilt us wid a smash.
Wheel about, &c.
�3
I lighted den upon my head,
All in de nassy dirt,
Dey all thought that I was dead,
But I laughed and was'nt hurt.
Wheel about, &e.
Dis head you know am pretty tick,
Cause dere it makes a hole,
On de dam macadamis road,
Much bigger dan a bowl.
Wheel about, &c.
When I got into Lunnon,
Dey took me for a savage,
B u t I war pretty well behaved,
So I 'gaged wid Massa Davidge.
Wheel about, &e.
Dem young J i m Crows 'bout de streets,
More like a raven rader,
Pray good people don't mistake,
Indeed I'm not dare fader.
Wheel about, &c.
Dem urchin's dat sing my song,
Had better mind dar books,
For any how dey can' be Crows,
You see d'are only Rooks.

HEY FOR A LASS WI' A TOCHER.

O gie me the lass wi' the weel stockit farms.
Then hey for a lass wi' a tocher,

The nice yellow guineas for me.
Your beauty's a flower in the morning that blows,
And withers the faster, the faster it grows :
But the rapturous charm o' the bonny green knowes,
Ilk spring they're new decked wi' bonnv white yowes.
'Then hey, &e.
And e'en when this beauty your bosom has blest,
The brightest o' beauty may cloy when possest;
But the sweet yellow darlings wi' Geordie imprest.
The langer ye hae them—the mair they're carest.
Then hey, &c.
MARY O F CASTLECARY.
Saw ye my wee thing ? saw ye my ain thing ?
SawT ye my true love down by yon lea ?
Crossed she the meadow yestreen at the gloaming,
Sought she the burnie wbare flowers the haw tree?
Her hair it is lint-white, her skin it is milk-white,
Dark is the blue o' her saft-rolling e'e,
Red, red her ripe lips, and sweeter than roses,
Where could my wee thing wander frae me ?
I saw your ain Mary, she's frae Castlecary,
I saw your ain true love down on yon lea,
�5
Proud as her heart is, and modest her nature,
Sweet were the kisses that she gae to me.
Sair gloom'd his dark brow, blood red his cheek grew,
Wild flash'd the fire frae his dark rolling e'e;
Ye'll rue sair this morning your boasts and your scorning,
Defend ye, fause traitor, fu' loudly ye lie!
Awa wi' beguiling, cried the youth smiling,
AfF went the bonnet, the lint-white locks flow,
Trie belted plaid fa'ing, her white bosom shawing,
Fair stood the loved maid wi' the dark-rolling e'e.
Is it my wee thing? is it my ain thing?
Is it my true love here that I see ?
Oh, Jamie ! forgie me, your heart's constant to me,
I'll never mair wander, dear laddie, frae thee !
HAUD AWA FRAE ME, DONALD.
Haud awa, bide awa,
Haud awa frae me, Donald ;
What care I for a' your wealth,
And a' that ye can gie Donald ?
I wadna lea my lowland lad,
For a' your goud an.' gear, Donald,
Sae tak your plaid, and o'er the hill,
And stay nae langer here, Donald.
Haud awa, bide awa, &c.
My Jamie is a gallant youth—
I loe but him alane, Donald;
And in bonny Scotland's isle,
Like him there is nane, Donald.
�Haud awa, bide awa,
Haud awa frae me, Donald;
What care I for a your wealth,
An a' that ye can gi'e, Donald ?
He wears nae plaid, nor tartan hose,
Nor garters at his knee, Donald;
But O he wears a faithfu' heart,
And love blinks in his e'e, Donald.
Sae haud awa, bide awa,
Come nae mair at e'en, Donald;
I wadna break my Jamie's heart,
To be a Highland Queen, Donald.
T H I S IS N O MY PLAID.
O this is no my plaid,
My plaid, my plaid,
0 this is no my plaid,
Bonny though the colours be.
The ground of mine was mix'd wi' blue,
1 got it frae the lad I loe;
He ne'er has gi'en me cause to rue,
And O the plaid was dear to me.
Farewell ye lowland plaids o' grey,
Nae kindly charms for me ye hae,
The tartan shall be mine for aye,
For O the colour's dear to me.
For mine was silky, saft and warm,
It wrapped me round frae arm to arm,
And like mysel' it bore a charm,
And O the plaid is dear to me.
�7
Although the lad the plaid who wore,
Is now upon a distant shore;
And cruel seas between us roar,
I'll mind the plaid that sheltered me.
The lad that gied me't likes me wee!,
Although his name I darna tell,
He likes me just as weel's himsel',
And O the plaid is dear to me.
O may the plaidie yet be worn,
By Caledonians yet unborn ;
111 fa' the wretch that e'er doth scorn,
The plaidie that's sae dear to me.

For there the bonny lassie lives,
The lassie I loe best.
Though wild-woods grow, and rivers row
Wi' mony a hill between,
Baith day and night my fancy's flight
Is ever wi' my Jean.
I see her in the dewy flower,
Sae lovely, sweet and fair ;
I hear her voice in ilka bird,
Wi' music charm the air.
There's no a bonnie flower that springs*
By fountain, shaw, or green,
N o r yet a bonny bird that sings,
But minds me o' my Jean.

For auld langsyne.

And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,

Frae morning sun till dine,;
But seas between us braid hae roared

And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll take a right gude wallie-waucbt.

And surely yell be your pfint-stoup,
As sure as I'll be mine,
And we'll take a cup o kindness yet,
For auld ladgsyne.
For auld langsyne, &c.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Humorous song of a traveler who comes to Glasgow to see the sights, and sees many strange and amazing things. Other songs include a positive rendition of the love a young man has for his love, who is not rich, but beautiful and faithful instead, which is much better than wealth, the song declares; a song wherein a man leaves his town to wander after his love proves cold and prideful to him; a happy song about the life of a ploughman and the woman who cares for him; and a short happy love song between a young couple. Several of these songs seem to have the theme that wealth does not buy happiness, in love or life.

As walking forth to view the plaiDy
Upon a. morning early,
While J^lpy's sweet 6Ceiy; did efceer my braiw,
From flowers which grew so rarely;
1 chanced to nwret a pretty mak],
V
She shined though it Mas fo#ie:

My oame is K<|fch'rinc Ogic.
V I stood Awhile, and did admire,
To
a j*ymph so stately;
brisk iw air tjicre did appear
1,0 a country it aid so neatly:—
gijcfr i>atVa! sweetness ihe displayed,
Like lilies in a bogie;
Ifeifta's self ww ne'er arrayed
Like this same Kath'i ine Ogie.

Though thou art drest i« robes but me&v,
Yet these cannot disguise thee:
T h y "handsome

Excels each clownish togie;
Tbou'rt match for4, tSlrd^or lord, or duke,
My charming JCath'rijpe Ogie.

�O ! wcte I bnt some shepherd strain,
To feed my flock beside thee:
At bughting-time to leave the plain,
In flwlking to abide thlft;
I'd think myself a happier man,
With Kate, my clufb, and dogie,
Than he that hugs his thousands ten,
Ha<l I but Kath'rine Ogie.
Then I'd despise th' imperial throno,
And statesmen's dgng'rous stations,
I'd be no king, I ' d wear ik> crown,
I'd smile at co*Kjto*ring nations,
M^rht I caress, and still possess
This lass of whom I'm vogie;
For they arc toys, and still look lesd,
Compared with Kath'rine Ogie.
h fear the gods have not decreed
£or me so fine a creature,
Whose beauty rare makes her exceed
All other works in nature*
Clouds of de-pair surround my love,
That are both dark and foggie;
Pitv my case, ye powers above!
Else I die for Kath'rine Ogie.

T o this doleful fomentation,
I rn^an to let you hear.
Concerning of a y o u n g man,and a lovely danifh fair,
A n d how he has betrayed her,
the t r u t h I will declare.
L o n g time this couple courted,
and often times, he fwore.
Their was- no fair maid .on this e a u h ,
but her he could adore.
B u t Satan ftrong fa tempted him,
he did this m a i d beguile,
M o l l barbrcufly he murd'red her,
though eighteen weeks with child.
This maid being y o u n g and innocent^
his vows i h e did believe,
n
S h e never bore it in .her mind,
that he would her deceive.
B u t when he got his will of her,
then her j o y f u l days were done,
l i e hrove always both night anil d a y ,
her company to fiiua*
O n e Right as he lay on. his bed?
this thought came in his mfhd*
paying H i ' ^ o j l e . that fair one*
with foeeches ibtt anu kind,
�6
And nr, he fold away he went,
til) he met this fair,
H e faid t y joy and heart's delight
1 am glad to meet you here.
If your parents come to hear this,
rr.v j wi I then f id he.
They w uU ufe nit moft fevers,
and banifh d vou would be.
Therefore mv faireit creature,
1 wi u d have you come away >
l i e Parf m I viii fend for,
ana we li wed without delay.
She Href} he (elfin rich attire,
ai 1 av-ay with him did g o ,
But iiitle did »his f ir maid think,
he vti uk- prove her overthrown
H e deludes tit r with fpeeches kind,
to a ioiitfonie greenwood fide*
He L ) s y w j dc here is your grave,
you'll never bt my b i L e .
W h e n (he Hearing him fey (b,
(he wrur g her hands afid cried,
Saying lpate mv Hie dear Jamie,
and I'll range the world wide.
I h i n k on your little irfant young,
and fpaie its iiie faiu fhe,
C'^ft of your iobe$ Ipeak no more,
ycUi butcher I will be.

Then with a knife he pferc'd her breafe
until the bload d i i ftowv
Arid in the deep and difniil gtave,
her body t e did thr
Carefully he buried httf, .
and ftra'ghfway be vrent hotfie,
Thinking this bloody mwv'ef,

'An beautiful Kitty one morning was trippisag,
With a pitcher o f milk from the fair of Coieraine,
W h e n she saw me she stumbl'd, the pitcher it
tumbi ed
And ail the sweet butter milk water'd 4 h e plain.
Oh! what shall I do n o w , 'twas looking at you

Sure, sure, such a pitcher III ne'er meet again,
Twas the pride o f my dair} ; - O f Barney M'Cleai'y
You resent as a plague to the girls o f Coleraifte
jl sat down beside her/and gently did chide h^r.
That such a misfortune should give her such pain,
A kiss tllelrllgjiye her, and, before I did leave her
She- vow "3"''for siicIVpleasure,'"she'd break it again,
Twas hay making season, I can't tell the reason,
Misfortune will never c»>'me single, tis plain,
very soon,after poor Kitty,s ; disaster,

:
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd,
The streamers waving with the wind,
W h e n hlapk-eyed Su^san came on board,
()!- vvfierce phal\ I my ,tr,ue love find?
Tell me, ye jovial sailors^ tell me true,
Does my sweet William sail among your crerr?
William who.high upon the yard,
Iiock'd with the billows too and fro,
Soon as her well-known voice he heard,
• He.sighed and cast his eyes b e l o w ;
The cord glides swiftly thro' his glowing hands,
And quick as lightning on the deck he stands.
So sweet the lark—high pois'd in air,
Shuts close his pinions to his breast,
I f chance his mate's shrill call he hear,
And drops at once into her nest;
The Noblest Captain in the British fleet
Might envy William s lips those kisses swee
O, Susan! Susan, lovely dear!
M y vows shall ever true remain;
L e t me kiss off that falling tear,
W e only part to meet again:
Change as ye list, £e winds, ray heart shall be,
T h e faithful compass that still points to thee.
Believe not what the landsmen say,
W h o tempt with doubt thy constant mind;
They'll tell thee sailors when away,
In ev'ryport a m'stress find:
Yes, yesv believe them when they tell you* s®,
For thou are present wheresoever I go.
*
�4
IT to fair India's coast we sail,
Thy eyes are seen in diamonds bright,
Thy breath is * fVic's spicy gale,
Thy skin is ivory so white:
Thus every beautious object that I view,
Wakes in ray soul some charms of lovely Sue,
Tho' Battle call me from thy arms,
Let not my pretty Susan mourn;
Tho'cannons roar, yet save from harm,
William shall to his dear return ;
L o v e turns aside the balls that round me fly,
Lest precious tears should drop from 5usan s eye
T h e boatswain gave the dreadful word,
The sails their swelling bosoms spread;
No longer she must stay on board,
They kiss'd, she sigh'd he hung his head;
Her lessening boat unwilling rows to land.
Adieu!' she cries, and wav'd her lily hand.
.MERRILY, M E I U i l L Y BOUNDS T H E
BARK.
. . .
Merrily, merrily bounds the bark,
She bounds before the gale;
The mountain-breeze from Burn ad arch,
Is joyous in her sail.
With fluttering sound like laughter, hoarse,
The chords and canvass strain,
The waves divided by her force,
In rippling e idies chased her course,
As if they laughed again.
�5
Merrily, merrily hounds the b a r k ,
O'er the broad ocean driven
H e r path b y R o u e n ' s mountains dark,
T h e steerman's hand has g i v e n .
Merrily, merrilv g o e s the bark,
On a breeze from the northward f r e e ;
So shoots the morning- sky the lark,
O r the swan through the summer sea.
Merrily, merrily goes the bark,
Before the gale she b o u n d s ;
So the dolphin from the shark,
Or the deer b e f o r e the hounds.
THE
B A Y OF BISCAY.
L o u d roared the dreadful thunder,
T h e rain a deluge s h o w e r ;
T h e clouds were rent asunder,
By lightning's vivid powers.
T h e night both drear and dark,
Our pour devoted bark ,
T h e r e she lay,
Till next day,
In the Bay o f Biscay O
N o w dashed upon O e billow,
Our opening timbers creak
