Song updated, review now!
It was early, early in one spring,
I was pressed on board to serve my king.
I left my dearest dear behind,
Who oft-times told me her heart was mine.

It was on a wet and a dreary day,
Our ship had sailed for the merry Kay,
With music sweet and trumpet sound
For old Virginia our ship was bound.

As I was sailing o'er the sea,
I took the opportunity
To write kind letters to my dear,
But nothing from her could I hear.

When I came back to her father's hall,
So loudly for my dear did call;
Her father said, "You must be denied,
For she's just married a richer knight."

If she is married whom I adore,
No longer will I stay on shore.
I'll sail the sea till the day I die,
And split the waves where the bullets fly.

"Oh, Billie, Billie, stay on shore,
Don't sail the seas till the day you die!
Don't split the waves where the bullets fly,
For there's many a prettier girl than I."

"Curse all the gold and the silver, too,
And all fair maids who won't prove true;
Make oaths and vows and then not keep
And marry others for riches' sake."

"If you've wrote letters to this town,
I can but prove I've received none,
If the fault being great, it's none of mine,
So don't reflect on the female kind."

Another Version

'Twas early, early all in the Spring,
I shipped on board for to serve the king,
Leaving my dearest dear behind,
Who often told me her heart was mine.

I took her into my folding arms,
I taught her body a thousand charms,
With lamenting tears and kisses sweet,
Saying: We'll be married the next time we meet.

I was not long sailing over the deep
When an opportunity I chanced to meet;
I wrote a letter unto my dear,
But not one word from her could I hear.

When I came to her father's hall,
For my dearest dear I did call.
Her aged father made thus reply:
Your dearest dear have left you and I.

I asked her father what did he mean.
He said my dearest is married to a Dane,
To a richer man than you for life,
So you may go look for another wife.

My curse on gold and bright silver too,
And all false lovers don't prove true.
I'll sail the ocean until I die
And split the waves rolling mountains high.

Since I did not gain her gallant crown
I'll sail the ocean right round and round,
I'll sail the ocean until I die,
And split the waves rolling mountains high

के बारे में"Trail to Mexico" is a slow-rhythm (night-herding) song with an engaging melody and theme inherited from the Old World: the heart of woman being fickle, the cowboy's only recourse is high adventure and violent muscular activity. The song has many faces. We give it here in three distinctive cowboy settings (A, B, and E), and two pre-cowboy texts (C and D). (Melody: Brunswick 354, Len Nash. Text A: Library of Congress, WPA #W1033, New Mexico. Text B: Library of Congress, Woody Guthrie Manuscripts, p. 184. Text C: PNFQ 136. Text D: PNFQ 137. Text E: FAC I 247, as sung by Frank Goodwyn.)
