oh she'll take off the black dress and put on the green
for she is foresaken and only 19
fa la la la la la la la la fa la la la la la
for she is foresaken and only 19
oh he courted her and he kissed her and he made her heart warm
and then when he left her he laughed her to scorn
fa la la la la la la la la fa la la la la la
and then when he left her he laughed her to scorn
foresaken foresaken her heart is forlorn
but he is mistaken if he thinks she will mourn
fa la la la la la la la la fa la la la la la
but he is mistaken if he thinks she will mourn
for we'll build her a cabin on yon mountain high
where the wild birds can't find her nor hear her heart cry
fa la la la la la la la la fa la la la la la
where the wild birds can't find her nor hear her heart cry
take warning take warning young ladies pray do
for you are quite lucky that this is not you

What are the lyrics for Reward by John Jacob Niles?
Reward I lay my love at your feet, my dear, and the long years pass as long years do... Bitter and long; bitter and long! I lay my love at your feet, my dear, and my rewards were few; very, very few. I lay my love at your feet my dear, but after all, who am I? A very little thing, a very small thing, as the world calculates the value of valuable things. I lay my love at your feet, my dear, and the long years pass as long years do... Bitter and long; bitter and long! When one fine day; one fine day you gathered me up! And your arms were strong and your lips were warm, and I saw a world of which I had never dreamed... It was a world anew... A bright, lovely world anew!
