[00:14.20]When first unto this country
[00:16.80]A stranger I came
[00:20.29]And I courted a fair maid
[00:24.25]And Nancy was her name
[00:28.16]I courted her for love
[00:30.41]And her love I didn't obtain
[00:34.02]Do you think I've any reason
[00:37.88]Or right to complain
[00:41.77]I rode to see my Nancy
[00:44.16]I rode both day and night
[00:47.74]I courted fairest Nancy
[00:51.45]My own heart's true delight
[01:08.59]I rode to see my Nancy
[01:10.78]I rode both day and night
[01:14.03]Till I was fine they find gray horse
[01:18.05]From looking and fair
[01:21.64]The Sheriff's meet me followed
[01:23.98]And overtaken me
[01:27.26]They carted me away
[01:30.60]To the penitentiary
[01:34.86]They opened the door
[01:37.09]And then they shop me in
[01:40.49]They cleared off my head
[01:43.87]Instead of my chin
[02:01.18]They beat me and they banged me
[02:03.36]They fed me on dried beef
[02:06.78]Till I wished to my own soul
[02:10.61]I'd never been a thief
[02:14.17]With my hands in my pockets
[02:16.39]Fet me cat put on so bold
[02:19.78]With my coat of many colors
[02:23.43]Like Jacob's of old
