lirik lagu peggy seeger - when first unto this country a stranger i came
when first unto this country, a stranger i came
i courted a fair maiden, nancy was her name
i courted her for love, her love i didn’t obtain
do you think i’ve any reason or right to complain?
i rode to see my nancy, i rode both day and night
i courted dearest nancy, my own heart’s true delight
i rode to see my nancy, i rode both night and day
til i noticed a stallion both white looking[?] and gray
the sheriff’s men had followed and overtaken me
they carted me away to the penitentiary
they opened up thе door
and then they shoved mе in
they shaved off my head and they cleared off my chin
they beat me and they banged me
they fed me on dried beans
till i wished to my own heart
i’d never been a thief
with my hands in my pockets
my cap set on so bold
and my coat of all colors
like jacob’s of old
when first unto this country, a stranger i came
i courted a fair maiden, nancy was her name
