TY Steve,
Note spelling error 4th line; (should be--"brought")
1. My parents rear'd me tenderly,
Endeavouring for me still,
And in the town of Wagan
They brought me to a mill.
The opening line appears similarly in "The Maid/Girl I Left Behind Me." in the Miramichi versions titled Wexford Lass the opening line and the whole first stanza are taken from "Maid I left".
