Broadside Ballad entitled 'Come Sit Thee Down'

Transcription

COME SIT THEE DOWN

PRICE ONE PENNY

This very fine song is now, at the urgent request of
many of the Poet's friends, added to his unequalled col-
lection. Its suggestive language is grand?nay, even sub-
lime?and the amount of poetic talent and high genius
brought to bear on the subject, is undoubtedly of the
highest rank. It can only be had in the Poet's Box, 6 St. Andrew's Lane.

Air.?Something or Nothing

Come sit thee down, my bonny, bonny love
Come sit thee down by me, love,
And I will tell thee many a tale
Of the dangers of the sea,
Of the perils of the deep, love,
Where the angry tempests roar ;
And the raging billows wildly dash
Upon the groaning shore.
And the raging billows wildly dash
Upon the groaning shore.
Come sit thee down, my bonny, bonny love,
Come sit thee down by me, love.            
And I will tell thee many a tale
Of the dangers of the sea.

The skies are flaming, red, my love,
The skies are flaming red, love ;
And darkly rolls the monntain wave,
And rears its monstrons head ;
While skies and ocean blending,
And bitter howls the blast,
And the daring tar, 'twist life and death,
Clings to the shatter'd mast!
And the daring tar, 'twixt life and death,
Clings to the shatter'd mast!
Come sit thee down, my bonny, bonny love,
Come sit thee down by me, love,
And I will tell thee many a tale
Of the dangers of the sea.
