[Verse 1]
She dressed herself in men's attire
And so gaily she was dressed
A-thinkin' to meet her own true love
The one that she loved best
But when he saw her a-comin'
He cried out, "Who is there?"
It is my eldest brother
A-thinkin' to meet my dear
[Verse 2]
But how soon will I deceive him
For his butcher I will be
He shall not live to enjoy my love
Nor yet to bother me"
He fired right at him as he thought
Which caused his loved one to fall
And in her tender bosom
He lodged a fatal ball
[Verse 3]
"I fall, I fall, I fall", said she
"I fall unto the ground
Oh, Jimmie, cruel Jimmie
You have gave me my death wound
Come look at the crimson tide
That from my heart does flow
Oh Jimmie, cruel Jimmie
How could you use me so?"
