Come ye youth of Boston town
the mournfull news youl hear
the pious youth though just come on
Shall Quickly Disappear

She Always did appear to be
A chosen child of god
he gave her grace that set her free
She loved his holy word

In Wisdoms ways she always went
or gave a just record
for every sin she should repent
And fly unto the Lord

She like a lamb or mournful dove
She silently did cry
Dear Jesus come ye from above
My soul on the rely

She did confirm the Holy word
to youth that live in sin
to Leave that way and serve the Lord
that Christ may take them in

She going the way of all the Earth
her nature doth decay
Dear Jesus send her thy relief
And help her now to pray

Not many days before the word
her panting heart did fly
She thus prayed unto the Lord
And met a fresh reply

Come Blessed Jesus now look down
have mercy on my soul
and thus forgive the ills Ive done
and Quickly send thy call
