(John Allison)


In Tarrytown, there did dwell

A lovely girl I knew her well

I courted her on bended knee

Until she said that she would marry me.


Wide and deep my grave will be

With the wild goose grasses growing over m

Wide and deep my grave will be

With the wild goose grasses growing over me.


We were young and love was grand

I gave her kisses on her hand

We walked along the little way

And talked of when would be our wedding day.


Wide and deep my grave will be

With the wild goose grasses growing over me.


And her house stands in Tarrytown

And now my love she dances 'round

She sits upon another's knee

For he has gold and silver more then me...
