歌曲歌詞
When first unto this country
A stranger I came
And I courted a fair maiden
And nancy was her name
I courted her for love
And her love I didn't obtain
Do you think I've any reason
Or right to complain
I rode to see my nancy
I rode both night and day
Till I noticed a stallion
Both white looking and gray
The sheriff's men had followed
And they'd overtaken me
And they carted me away
To the penitentiary
They opened up the door
And then they shoved me in
And they shaved off my head
And then they cleared off my chin
They beat me and they banged me
And they fed me on dry beans
'Till I wished to my own heart
I'd never been a thief
With my hands all in my pockets
My cap set on so bold
And my coat of all colors
Like jacob's of old
When first unto this country
A stranger I came
And I courted a fair maiden
And nancy was her name
