Lily Lee
Down by the shores of the sounding sea
Was the humble home of my Lily Lee,
And over the deep and the far away
Was a sailor lover, bright and gay.
To gather diamonds, to gather gold,
Over the waters so clear and cold,
His future to God he dare not trust,
But he wanted it down in golden dust.
So with a kiss and a parting thrill,
He changed his heart to an iron drill;
He bent his back to an oaken oar,
And he sailed away from the sounding shore.
He sailed away, away, away,
Farther, father, day by day,
Thinking only of his diamonds and gold,
And all the joys they'd bring him when he got old.
She stood on the bank with a quivering lip;
She watched and she wept for the sailing ship;
She watched and she sighed till it faded away
Into a bank of desolate gray.
He sailed away, away, away,
Farther, farther, day by day.
Oftimes in visions dreamed at night,
He say a terrible ghastly light,
A coffin floating about on the sea,
And on it the name of Lily Lee.
But why need such vision, trouble in mind,
When safe she's walking the shore behind?
It never could have been such misfortune or mistake
That corpses would have been in such a state.
Lily Lee (Cont'd)

After many long years of tossing about,
This good old ship takes a homeward route,
Saying nothing about the infant glee,
But I'm bound for the home of my Lily Lee.
Once more again the strife is o'er,
For rich he steps on the sounding shore;
He soars away to his love's cot,
But he finds it alone in a desolate spot.
The stones of the wall was scattered and black,
The door off the hinges, roof all rack;
The owl and the bat wing swift by near,
With a hooting and screeching, not here, not here.
Pleasant churchyard lying in his way,
All covered with flowers in the month of May;
Just twenty graves he'd already passed,
When suddenly stopped with an eye on gaze.
He fell to his knees with a hollowing mourn
As he saw one name on a marble stone.
He wiped his eyes from a single tear,
But still those letters, they were there;
He read them again , but what could he see
But sweet remembrance of Lily Lee?Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
When I was a cowboy

Huntsville Jail
When I was a cowboy
I rode upon the line;
I always coined the money,
But I didn't dress so fine.
I rode upon the prairies;
I learned to rob and steal,
And when I'd rob a fellow,
How jolly I would feel.
I wore a broad brimmed high hat,
Rode horse and saddle fine,
And when I courted a pretty girl,
I always called her mine.
I courted them for beauty,
For love was all in vain,
Till they took me down to Huntsville
To wear the ball and chain.
The other night while sleeping,
I had a pleasant dream;
I dreamed I was in Texas
Down by a running stream.
But my true love was beside me,
She's there to go my bail,
And I woke up broken-hearted
Down in the county jail.
In stepped the jailer
About eleven o'clock,
A bunch of keys a-carrying,
My cell door to unlock.
Cheer-up, down-hearted cowboy,
I heard those judges say
That you would go to Huntsville
For ten long years to stay.

But in stepped my true love,
Ten dollars in her hand;
Says, give this to my Willie Boy,
That's all that I command.
Says, take this, darling, with you,
And think of olden times,
And don't forget the pretty girl
You left so far behind.
Heaven may smile upon you
Whereever you may be,
And lightening strike the jury
That taken you from me.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

The Drunken Man
(I Wish I Mas a Single Girl Again)
A drunken man leads a l i fe of his own,
And who could it be but a drunkard alone,
And it's Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
Chorus:
Single I would be and single I'd remain,
I'd never be controlled by a drunkard again,
And it's Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
Three little childred I must entertain,
And not n'ery one big enough to do a thing,
And it's Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
(Chorus)
To card and to spin is obliged to be done,
Sweep out the house and go to the spring,
And it's Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
(Chorus)
From midnight to morning the drunkard comes home;
He comes to your bed with a curse and a damn,
And wish you all dead and he had another dram.
And it's Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
