[right of title:] Mrs. Russell

I am a young & undaunted youth
My name is John M'Cann
I am a native of Edinburgh
And willing to trapan
For stealing an heiress I was laid & left in gaol
And her father said he would hang me
for steling Mary Neal

[page marked, top right:] 65.

All in cold irons I lay bound  & my love sent word to me
Dont fear my father's anger & I will set you free
For the ship she's now awaiting to Derry for to go
And I'll bribe the Captain to let no one know

Then he gave consent and away she went & stole away her clothes
And nary one that was in the house her mind she did not tell
And her yellow locks were floating all on the waves so high
And I'm to stand trial for stealing Mary Neal.

THE STEALING OF MARY NEAL.
[below title, in hand:] D783
Note-book D.VII. p.64. 	Mrs. Marina.Russell,
				Upwey, Dorset.
				Jan/Feb. 1907.

I am a young and undaunted youth, my name is John McCann,
I am a native of Edinboro' and willing to trepan,
For stealing (of) an heiress I was laid and left in gaol,
And her father said he would hang me for stealing Mary Neal.

All in cold irons I lay bound and my love sent word to me,
"Don't fear my father's anger and I will set you free,
For the ship she's now waiting to Derry for to go,
And I'll bribe the captain to let no one know."

Then he gave consent and back she went and stole away her clothes,
And narry one that was in the house her mind she did not tell,
And her yellow locks were floating all on the waves so high,
And I'm to stand my trial for stealing Mary Neal.
