lonie-oh<br \/>\nAnd they walked out to pick some flowers<br \/>\nOn the bonny bonny banks of the Vergie-oh<\/p>\n<p>They had not picked but barely one<br \/>\nWhen up then jumped a banished man<\/p>\n<p>He took the first girl by the hand<br \/>\nHe pulled her round and made her stand<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Will you be a robber&#8217;s wife?<br \/>\nOr will you die by my pen-knife?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No, I&#8217;ll never be a robber&#8217;s wife.<br \/>\nSo I must die by your pen-knife.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>So he&#8217;s taken out his long pen-knife<br \/>\nAnd there he&#8217;s taken that young girl&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>He took the second girl by the hand<br \/>\nHe pulled her round and made her stand<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Will you be a robber&#8217;s wife?<br \/>\nOr will you die by my pen-knife?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Oh, I&#8217;ll be no robber&#8217;s wife,<br \/>\nNor I will die by your pen-knife.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s taken out his long pen-knife,<br
