The Cambric Shirt- Sung by Henry Pritchard, Weeksville, NC, 1924
Go make me a cambric seamless shirt,
Sea bright, sea goes merry in time,
Without needle or needle's work,
And then you'll be a true lover of mine.
Go wash it in yonders run,
Sea bright, sea goes merry in time,
Where rain never fell and water never sprung,
And then you'll be a true lover of mine.
