Lyrics Gone to America - Steeleye Span
Married
him
in
April,
lost
him
in
July;
Listen
to
my
story
and
I'll
tell
you
why,
They
said
that
he'd
been
poaching
and
stealing
wine,
They
said
I
wouldn't
see
him
for
a
long
long
time.
Chorus:
They
said
he's
gone
to
America,
To
work
the
land
that
some
called
Virginia;
They
said
he's
gone
to
America.
Married
him
in
April,
lost
him
in
July;
They
took
him
as
their
prisoner
then
told
me
why,
They
said
they
had
sent
him
where
poachers
go,
I
asked
if
I
could
see
him
but
they
said
no.
Chorus:
Married
him
in
April,
lost
him
in
July;
Curse
the
men
who
took
him,
curse
their
wicked
lie,
The
night
they
saw
him
poaching
and
stealing
wine,
Was
the
night
he
took
comfort
in
these
arms
of
mine.
Chorus:
Married
him
in
April,
lost
him
in
July.
