I would pray, but I can't, in vain.

1. I would pray, I cannot, in vain, ; I never went to school, ; My mother told stories, spoke at the shepherd's fire, ; There was my only good farm. ; ; 2. I stole six horses from the county, ; I drove away the best of his stud, ; I drove away thirteen borders, ; I sold them for a good price on the third day.
