NEW YEALAND- From the singing of Miss Lisbeth Hayes, Fayetteville Ark., 1920. Collected by Randolph.
1. "Will you run to the New Yealand, Leezie Leezie,
Will you run to the New Yealand with me?
Will you run to the New Yealand, Leezie Leezie,
My wife an' my love for to be?"
2. She come down all dressed in green satin,
She kilted it up to her knee.
She run to the New Yealand o'Connell,
His wife an' his love for to be.
