When first unto thia country. a atranger I came.
I courted a fair maid end Nlncy va. ber name.
I cO<.:rted her for love, and her love I didn I t

Do y"" thinlr. 'I'V", any rea. on or right to complain?
I rode to eae my Nlncy, I rode both day and night
Till:' I apied a fine gray horae botb plump-looking
and white.
Tbe sheriff'a men, they'd followed,.Dd overtaken
me.
They carted me away to the penitentiary.
They opened up th. door and then they .hoved me
in.
They cleared off my head and they shaved off my
chin.
They !><let me and they banged me and they ,fed me on
dry bean.
Till I wiahed to my soul I'd never been a thief.
With my banda in my pockets and my cep put on so

Band 2 - SPRlOOFIl!LD KOUNl'AIN{Suaan Reed. Susan
Reed ra-create. what is probably the first popular
native-born ballad in America. The song hae had at
least two live., a s.rioua veraion which the colo
nist. could With, becouae snake. did
abound in !lew England, and the perils of nature
were alwaya at hand. and a. a eomie burlesque.
Thi. song springa from an actual apiaode, in 1761,
when a Timothy Myrick of Springfield Kount.in,
Ke.a. (later Wilbraham), was killed by a rattle
anake.
On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
A loveli. youth,I knowed him well-al-el.
CHORUS:
Tu ruddie du tu mddie day,
Tu ruddie tu ruddie day.
This lovelie youth one day did go
Down to the meadow for to mow-i-o,
(Cho.)
lie had sure. half round the field
When. poi.on e.rpent bit at hia hael..-eel.
(Cho.)
They took hi.. home to Molli. dear,
Which ...de him feel so verie queer-ear-ear.
(Cho,)
Now Mollie had two ruby lipa
With ...hich the poisoo ahe did aip.
(Cho.)
She also had a rotten tooth
And 80 the poiaon killed them both-o-oth.

thia joggy tuo. illustrates. But tbe likelihood is
that tbis English tune dido't get popular bere un
