I met a man
I met a man called Sam,
he was a tall, lean, and handsome man.
We met near a brook he loved so well
He asked me to an eatery. and
I shyly said "yes".
I met a man called Sam.
In a year and a day we wed.
Oh, what a life we had Sam and I
and our three sons.
I met a man called Sam.
Today he rests on a hill
near the brook, he loved so well.
