Additional quotes by Samuel Lover

As she sat in the low-backed car
The man at the turn-pike bar
Never asked for the toll
But just rubbed his auld poll
And looked after the low-backed car.

And with my advice, faith I wish you'd take me.

For a ballad's a thing you expect to find lies in.

A baby was sleeping, Its mother was weeping, For her husband was far on the wild-raging sea. - Samuel Lover
