Jimmie Nelson

Lyrics

O, where have you been, Jimmie Nelson my son?
O, where have you been, my fair pretty one?
I've been to see Polly. Mother make my bed soon,
For I'm sick to my heart, and I fain would lie down.

O, what did you eat, Jimmie Nelson my son?
O, what did you eat, my fair, pretty one?
An eel, Mother, make my bed soon,
For I'm sick to my heart, and I fain would lie down.

O, how did she catch it, etc.
With the tongs, Mother, etc.

O, what will you give to your mother, etc.
My bed and my bedding, etc.

O, what will you give to your father, etc.
My horse and my saddle, etc.

O, what will you give to your brother, etc.
My dog and my gun, etc.

O, what will you give to your sister, etc.
My gold and my silver, etc.

O, what will you give to your Polly, etc.
Hellfire and brimstone, etc.
