The Black-bird, a selection of celebrated songs (1818)
“ Tyrone? For my character You need never mind it; I never was marry’d, nor promis'd to none. Then she swore by her conscience She would run all chances, And travel with me to the County Tyrone. Then early next morning, While the sun was adorning, We travd'd from Killwight by the three mile stone; The guard they pursu’d us, But never could view us, I wish’d frotn my heart I had my love in Tyrone. As we were a-walking, And lovingly talking, We met an old man, was walking alone ”
