lyrics

On Springfield Mountain

On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
A lovely youth I knowed him well.
This lovely youth one day did go
Down to the meadom for to mow.

He scarce had mowed quite round the field
When a cruel serpent bit his heel.
They took him home to molly dear
Which made him feel so very queer.

Now Molly had two ruby lips
With which the poison she did sip.

Now Molly had a rotting tooth,
And so the poison killed them both.
