It was on the sixth of April as I lay on my bed,
And thinking of the sorrows that crowned my aching head;
And surrounded I was by officers, and with them I was forced for to go
For to serve a long and dreary trick to the jails of Buffalo
When I’ve done my task and got pardoned, and once more I am free,
And I went down to Sandusky, my true love for to see.
But, perhaps, my boys, she will give me the bounce when she does come to know
That I Ied a gang of smugglers to the jails of Buffalo
Oh, this girl she came from Paterson, the truth to you I will tell
She was an only daughter, and her parents loved her well.
They brought her up in the fear of the lord, but little did she know
That she was married to a smuggler who served time in Buffalo.
