Although it is mentioned by Bruce Olson as one of the group of songs including Grace McFarlane (the version I sing), I Know Where I'm Going and Ay Waukin' O I couldn't find HARRY NEWELL (c. C18) in the DT - so just out of interest:-

HARRY NEWELL

When I came to this town
They call'd me Harry Newell
Now they've changed my name
And they call me the raking Jewell

They put me to bed
Thinking I was weary;
Sleep I could get none
For thinking of my dearie.

All the night awake
All the day am weary
Sleep I can get none
When I think of my dearie

Her cheeks are ruby-red
Her lips are like a cherry;
Her eyes as black as sloes
Her hair brown as a berry.

She is a lovely lass,
She has my heart in keeping;
When I go to bed
She hinders me from sleeping.

I'll send my love a letter
And I will entreat her;
In Belfast town with speed,
I will be sure to meet her.

Down by the Ropery'
All thro' mud and mire;
Down by Hampster Place,
There liv'd my heart's desire.

She was a beauty bright,
There's no one can excell her
She was my heart's delight,
I know not what befel her.
