Subject: Lyr Req: Angelo Dornan - When I wake in the morn.
I am looking for the rest of a song that was collected by Helen Creighton from Angelo Dornan in 1954. He recorded only two verses and the melody is gorgeous.

When I wake in the morning I go to my window
I take a long look o'er the place that I know
I'm surrounded by sorrow, will I never see tomorrow?
O Jimmie, lovely Jimmie, if you knew what I know.

When the boys come to court me they all swear they love me
Bur I like a hero I do them disdain,
My love's gone and left me, no other man will get me,
And I never will marry till he comes back again.
