"Squire of High degree." Sung by Miss Carr Moseley; learned from old lady born c. 1800, who learned it from her mother.

There was a Squire of high degree,
Bow down, Bow down,
There was a Squire of high degree
As the bough doth bend to me.
There was a Squire of high degree,
And he had daughters, one, two, three,
And I'll be true to my true love,
If my love will be true to me
