Young Freda Bolt
Amid the Blue Ridge Mountains There lived a maiden fairWhose life was pure as heavenWhose life was free from care She dreamed of love and romanceWith heart so glad and freeNo gloom within the future Young Freda Bolt could see Nearby lived dear young HarmonA boy she loved so wellAnd of these two young loversA story I will tell Twas late one Thursday eveningThe stars were shinning dimThat dear one called his sweetheartTo come and go with him He told her on tomorrowThat they would surely wedBut little was she thinkingHe'd take her life instead They motored to Clinch MountainA place so dark and loneAnd there her form so helplessHe placed beneath the stones Away from home and motherThat Freda loved so wellThe bitter pain and anguishNo mortal tongue can tell Through tears she pled for mercyThough he denied her cryYoung Harmon left his sweetheart In agony to die We think that God in heavenMust surely heard her cryAnd sent a band of angels To linger very nigh And bare her spirit overTo yonder happy shoreWhere dying comes no neverAnd parting is no more
