lyrics
Oh! once I loved a yellow gal,
I loved her as my life;
She came from old Virginia,
And I took her for my wife.
We happy lived together,
She never caused me pain;
But on one cold and stormy night
I lost my Mary Blane.
CHORUS.
Farewell! farewell! poor Mary Blane;
One faithful heart still thinks of you,
Farewell! farewell! poor Mary Blane,
Tho' we ne'er shall meet again.
