Worcester City

Traditional

[Verse 1]
In Worcester City there lived a damsel
And now the truth to you I'll tell
She by her servant man was courted
Who often told her he loved her well

[Verse 2]
She loved him true, but at a distance
He did not think to be very fond
"Now for your convict and inconstant lovers
I pray you'll end your sweet tender love"

[Verse 3]
By a young master, this fair young damsel
Was invited to a ball, you know
This wicked young man he followed after
And soon prepared for her overthrow

[Verse 4]
As she was dancing all with another
Jealousy it filled his mind
Then to destroy his own true lover
This wicked young man he was inclined

[Verse 5]
Oh, quickly he prepared some poison
He mixed it with a glass of wine
And gave it to his own true lover
She drank it with a most fearful mind

[Verse 6]
A little after this fair young damsel
"Now take me home, my dear," said she
"For the liquor that you have lately gave me
Has made me very ill indeed"

[Verse 7]
As they was walking along together
He then unto her did say
"I gave you poison all in your liquor
All for to take your sweet life away"

[Verse 8]
"And I have drunk of the same, my jewel
I hope to die as well as thee"
So in each other's arms they died
And young men, beware of jealousy
