Broadside ballad entitled 'Poor Old Jeff' |
TranscriptionPOOR OLD JEFF. PRICE ONE PENNY. This Popular Song can always be had as the Poet's Box, Twas just one year ago to-day, That I remember well, And a story she did tell, Who lived for many a year; No troubles does he fear. CHORUS. Poor old jeff has gone to rest, She took my arm, we walk'd along, Into an open field, Then to his grave did steal. And softly whispered there? And softly dropp'd a tear. But since that time how things have changed, Poor Nelly that was my pride, Down by her father's side, The weeping willow tree; That it might shelter me. COLLECTON OF NEW AND POPULAR SONGS.
