When Nance was a maid
Of naught was she afraid.
No man could daunt her;
She would flaunt her
independence -- oh!
Then Nance her Robert found
As surely she was bound;
And he has claimed --
but has he trained? --
her independence -- oh!
And now they will be wed --
So both of them have said.
And still they may
Their homage pay,
to independence -- oh!
