1. HEre to the world I do declare, I scarce can undergo My sorrow, being in dispair, while eyes like fountains flow, Right Valliant Johnson he is dead, while I lament his fall, Alas for being once misled, his Life hath paid for all. 2. Take hence my sumptuous rich array, and Jewels which I wore, This is to me a dismal day, none can my Joys restore, He's gone and I am left behind, for to lament his fall, Tho others was to blame I find, his Life hath paid for all. 3, He was my Joy and chief delight, but Oh! the Hand of Fate Has blasted all my Glory quite, no Tongue can well relate, What killing Torments I endure, to see his dismal fall, Who ere offended, he I'm sure has dearly paid for all. 4. Had but the youthful Lady lov'd him half so well as I, She would have been to pity mov'd, saving his Life, for why, A sweet Deportment at his death, was seen by great and small, And yeilded up his dearest breath, His Life hath paid for all.
5. He that betray'd him to disgrace, a wretched state is in; Such Villains dare not show their Face, where this brave soul hath bin, At Flanders, where some thousands lay in streams of reaking gore; He's gone and I may sighing say, I ne'er shall see him more. 6. Alas! his life was bought and sold, by a Familiar to, For filthy gain of cursed Gold, what will not some men do, Betray their very Bosom Friend, whom they seem'd to adore, Alas! his life is at an end, I ne'er shall see him more. 7. Those that do truly love like me, I wish may happier prove; And no such cruel destiney, may cross them in their love, I once thought to have happy prov'd, but now I must deplore The loss of him, I dearly lov'd, I ne'er shall see him more. 8. My soul is fill'd with grief and care, no Comfort can I see, The sorrow's more than I can bare, would I had dy'd for thee, Rather than live in torment hear, It grieves my heart full sore, Never was sorrow so severe, I ne'er shall see thee more.
