W:[after the tune, in the staff:] 'Lazarus' in 3/4 time Words D VII. p.64
W:The MIDI file has two verses, the second using the alternatives in bars 1,4,8 & 11 W:
W:I am a young & undaunted youth
W:My name is John M'Cann
W:I am a native of Edinburgh
W:And willing to trapan
W:For stealing an heiress I was laid & left in gaol
W:And her father said he would hang me
W:for steling Mary Neal
W:
W:All in cold irons I lay bound & my love sent word to me
W:Dont fear my father's anger & I will set you free
W:For the ship she's now awaiting to Derry for to go
W:And I'll bribe the Captain to let no one know
W:
W:Then he gave consent and back she went & stole away her clothes
W:And nary one that was in the house her mind she did not tell
W:And her yellow locks were floating all on the waves so high
W:And I'm to stand trial for stealing Mary Neal.
