Intro: Verse Married him in April, lost him in July Listen to my story and I'll tell you why They said that he'd been poaching and stealing wine They said I wouldn't see him for a long, long time They said he's gone to America To work the land that some called Virginia They said he's gone to America Verse Married him in April, lost him in July They took him as their prisoner, then told me why They said they had sent him where poachers go I asked if I could see him, but they said no They said he's gone to America To work the land that some called Virginia They said he's gone to America Married him in April, lost him in July Instrumental Verse Married him in April, lost him in July Curse the men who took him, curse their wicked lies The night they saw him poaching and stealing wine Was the night that he took comfort in these arms of mine But now he's gone to America To work the land that some called Virginia They said he's gone to America Married him in April, lost him in July Outro
