I am looking for the lyrics of a song called "Hanged I shall be". Could not find it in the database, but may have overlooked? I got most of the words, but miss a few lines here and there and lost the record it was on. I think it was sung by John Kirkpatrick. Thanks! It goes something like:

O when I was thought apprenticed
I was 'prenticed to a mill
And I served my master truly for more than seven years

Until I took up a courting
With a lass with a roving eye
........

O as we were walking and talking
through the hills and meadows gay
It is there we told our tales of love and we fixed our wedding day

......
......
I took a stick right out of the hedge and I knocked this pretty girl down (psychopath..?)

Down on her bended knees she fell
And loud for mercy cried
O spare the life of an innocent girl for I'm not prepared to dye

But I took her by her curly locks??
......to the ground
And I tbrew her into the river ?? that flows thought Weefield ? town

That flows so far to the distance
that flows so deep and wide
And it's there I threw this pretty fair maid that should have been my bride

When I went back to my parent's house
It being late a night
Mother she got out of bed all for to light the light

O she asked me and she questiond me
What stains your hands and clothes
O the answer I gave back to her: I've been bleeding at me nose.

No rest, no rest all that long night
no rest nay could I find
For the sparks of fire and brimstone around me at me jibe?

It was not three days later
that this pretty fair maid was found
floating in the river wide that flows through Weefield ? town

That flows so far to the distance
That flows so deep and wide
and it's there they found this pretty fair maid that should have been me bride

O the judges and the jurymen,
all on me they did agree
for the murdering of this pretty fair maid a-hanged I shall be
