In Oxford City lived a lady
And she was beautiful and fair
Oh, she was courted by a sailor
And he did love her as his dear
He said, `My dear, let us get married
Let us now no longer stay
I`ll work for you both late and early
If you my wedded bride will be`
The girl she loved him, but at a distance
She did not seem to be quite so fond
He said, `My dear, you seem to slight me
I`m sure you love some other man`
He saw her dancing with some other
A jealous thought came to his mind
And to destroy his own true love
He gave to her a glass of wine
So soon she drank it, so soon she felt it
`Oh hold me fast, my dear,` said she
`Is it that glass of wine you gave me
Takes my innocent life away?`
`That glass of wine now which I gave you
That glass of wine did strong poison hide
For if you won`t be my true lover
You`ll never be no other man`s bride
`That glass of wine which now I gave you
It`s I have drinked of the same,` he said
`So in each other`s arms we`ll die together
To warn young men of jealousy`
`Oh hark, oh hark, the cocks are crowing
The daylight now will soon appear
And into my cold grave I`m going
And it`s you, Willie, who called me here`
