Lyrics:

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.Chorus: 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;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.Chorus:Married him in April, lost him in July;Curse the men who took him, curse their wicked lie,The night they saw him poaching and stealing wine,Was the night he took comfort in these arms of mine.Chorus:Married him in April, lost him in July.
