While I was on the raggin main,
Now my dear beloved Sue,
I am return'd to thee again,
No more I'll cross the raging ocean wide,
But live at pleasure, but live at pleasure,
with my lovely bride.
Susan in a swoon did faint,
At William's feet I do declare,
Soon he reviv'd his charmer's saint.
There was a happy loving pair,
William and Susan sweetly past along,
To Plymouth church, to Plymouth church,
where multitudes did throng.
Twenty stout sailors brave and bold,
And twenty maids in rich attire,
A glorions sight for to behold,
Music play d sweet to their desire,
To accompany the bride and bridegroom there,
Now they are joined, now they are joined,
a sweet and happy pair.
HERE AWA, THERE AWA.
HERE awa there awa, here awa Willie,
Here awa, there awa, here awa hame,
Lang have I sought thee, and dear have I bought thee,
Now I ha'e gotten my Willie again
Through the lang muir I have followed my Willie;
Through the lang muir I have followed him hame.
Whatever beside us, nought shall divide us,
Love now rewards all my sorrow and pain.
FINIS.
