lirik lagu bill jones - the holland mistress
i was brought up in sheffield but not of high degree
my parents love me dearly they had no child but me
when i was bound apprentice i could no longer stay
so very soon to london i thought to run away
a rich and handsome lady from holland she was there
she offered me great wages to serve her for a year
i had not been in holland some years but two or three
until my lovely mistress grew very fond of me
she said her gold and silver, her houses and her land
if i’d consent to marry her should be at my command
i’ll wed with none but molly your pretty chamber maid
excuse me my dear mistress she has my heart betrayed
then in an angry passion away from me she scorned
promising her vengeance before it was too long
a gold ring from her finger as she was passing by
she slipped into my pocket and for it i must die
now on the monday after in haste that i was called
before a dreadful justice to answer for the fault
though long i pleaded innocence it was of no avail
she swore so sore against me that i was sent to jail
my mistress swore i robbed her which was not my intent
because i would not marry her she did it from contempt
from that place of confinement she’s brought me to the tree
oh woe be to my mistress for she has ruined me
well you that stand around me my wretched fate to see
don’t glory in my downfall but rather pity me
don’t blame me, i am innocent!
i bid the world ado
farewell my pretty molly
i die for love of you
