Unknown - A Rainy Night In Paris
A Rainy Night In Paris
By
Unknown
A Prisoner For Life
my Old Father Advised Me When I Was But Young,
"of Ramblin' An' Gamblin', Bad Company Shun.
these Words You'll Remember When I'm Old An' Gray,
these Words You'll Remember When I'm Cold In My Grave."
but I Kept On A-Ramblin' In That Terrible Band,
till I Was Attackted By The Laws Of The Land,
was Tried An' Convicted For Mail Robbery,
nine Years Was Transported Across The Salt Sea.
then I Met My Old Father A-Leavin' The Dock,
he Wrang His Poor Hands An' He Tore His Gray Locks ,
sayin', "son, They Have Ruint You, I've Advised You Before,
but Now We Are Partin' To Meet Here No More."
if I Was On Shipboard, Pretty Molly By Me,
bound Down In Strong Ireland I'd Feel Myself Free,
bound Down In Strong Ireland An' Kept Like A Slave,
'twas In My Own Country I Did Not Behave.
farewell, Little Doogie, To An Embel You Fly,
you Sing An' You Sorrow Your Troubles All By;
oh, What Would I Give In Such Freedom To Share,
to Roam At My Ease An' To Breathe The Fresh Air.
oh, Farewell, Kind Comrades, I'm Willin' To Own
that Such A Wild Outcast Has Never Been Known;
'tis The Cause Of My Ruin An' Sudden Downfall,
an' Caused Me To Labor Behind The Stone Wall.
note: One Of Many Local Variants, Each, Apparently With An
"authentic" Local History. In Next To Last Verse, I Find Myself
utterly Charmed By "..Little Doogie, To An Embel You'll Fly.."
any Missourians Have A Clue?
from Ozark Folksongs, Randolph. Collected From Carrie Baber, Mo,
1922
