[Verse 1]
Come all young men and tender ladies
And hear a story I will impart
Of the sad and awful tragic ending
Of the printer and his poor sweetheart
[Verse 2]
A pretty young girl was courted by a printer
He promised to ever stand by her side
He vowed a vow most firm and strongly
That she should be his lawful bride
[Verse 3]
When his old parents came to know this
They walked green fields and meadows wide
Saying, "Son, oh son, don't be so foolish
For she's too poor for the printer's bride"
[Verse 4]
He knelt down on his knees before them
Saying, "Father, father, have pity on me
Don't keep me from my heart's desire
For she is all this world to me"
[Verse 5]
This young lady when she came to know this
She walked green fields and meadows wide
Until she come some fair broad water
And there she sat her down and cried
Come all young men and tender ladies
And hear a story I will impart
Of the sad and awful tragic ending
Of the printer and his poor sweetheart
