Here's a question I got by email:

I was recently searching the internet when I came across your website. I was looking for information about a song and found one similar to some lyrics that I purchased at an auction.

The lyrics go like this:

"I road to church last Sunday
And my love she passed me by
I knew her mind was changing
by the rolling of her eye".

"I knew her mind was changing
to some other high degree
????? I my lovely Mary
why can't you fancy me".

It also contains three more verses. Some of the writing is difficult to make out.

It looks to be titled "Lovely Mary Hannash", is original and handwritten and is dated 1864.

Would you have any information on this or where else I might find information?

Thanks,

Charles
