When I was in my sixteenth year
Little Willie called to me
He said if I'd run away with him
His dear little wife I'd be
I was so far away from home
When little Willie said to me
Go home, go home my dear little girl
My wife you can never be
My mama was so kind to me
And I know she loved me too
You brought me far away from home
How can you leave me here?
Nature, nature my dear little girl
Oh it's nature for to be
My mind is to ramble around
And I bid this wide world adieu
Nature, nature my dear little girl
Oh it's nature for to be
My mind is to ramble around
And I bid this wide world adieu
