Here lies a wo-man, who can de-ny it?
She dy'd in peace, tho' lived un-qui-et.
Her hus-band prays if o'er her grave you walk, you would tread soft,
you would tread soft; for if she wake,
for if she wake she'll talk, tread soft;
for if she wake, she'll talk.

original is in G minor.. here in C minor for ease of singing

poor O-wen, poor O-wen,
for a while, poor O-wen for a while did lye,
did lye des-pis'd by all, by all that walk'd by,
did lye des-pis'd by all, des-pis'd by all,
all, all, all, by all that walk'd by,
of-ten, of-ten they were heard to cry,
Swan's wine's dry, Swan's wine's dry
of-ten they were heard to cry, were heard,
were heard to cry, were heard to cry,
Swan's wine's dry, Swan's wine's dry
Swan's wine's dry.
One stan-ding by, said let's try,
let's try, let's try,
said let's try, let's try, let's try,
let's try, let's try,
one stan-ding by, one stan-ding by,
said let's try, let's try,
then one and all, all one and all went to Cob-webb Hall.
