As I went out one morning, to breathe the air around Tom Paine's
I spied the fairest damsel, that ever did walk in chains
I offer'd her my hand, she took me by the arm
I knew that very instant, she meant to do me harm
Depart from me this moment, I told her with my voice
Said she, "But I don't wish to, said I, but you have no choice
I beg you, sir, she pleaded, from the corners of her mouth
I will secretly accept you, and together we'll fly south
Just then Tom Paine, himself, came running from across the field
Shouting at this lovely girl, and commanding her to yield
And as she was letting go her grip, up Tom Paine did run
I'm sorry, sir, he said to me, I'm sorry for what she's done
