Intro :
As I went out one m orning
To breathe the a ir ar ound Tom P aine's
I s pied the fairest d amsel
That e ver did w alk in c hains
I offer' d her my hand
She t ook me b y the a rm
I k new that very i nstant
She m eant to d o me h arm
"D epart from me t his moment"
I told her with my vo ice
Sai d she "But I don' t wish to"
Said I "But yo u have n o choice."
"I beg you sir" she pleaded
From the corn ers of her mouth
"I w ill secretly ac cept you
And t ogether w e'll f ly south."
Just then Tom Paine himself
Came running fro m acr oss the fi eld
Sho uting at this love ly girl
And co mmanding her to y ield
And as she was let ting go her grip
Up To m Paine did run
"I'm sorry sir" h e said to me
"I'm sorry for what she's done."
