The Virtue Song

I ran along the highway and looked under all the trees
I crawled through every hither and yon and blistered both me knees
I even went to chapel and looked under every pew
It's surely gone bejeezus and I don't know what to do

Won't somebody help me look for it
We'll search until the dawn
For it seems I've lost me virtue
And I don't know where it's gone

Me father says it's precious and to guard it with me life
To save it up and give it away to the man who calls me wife
He says I daren't sell it, it's a mortal sin they say
So now that I've lost it, surely there'll be hell to pay

Won't somebody help me look for it
We'll search until the dawn
For it seems I've lost me virtue
And I don't know where it's gone

My mother says a good girl keeps it tight between her thighs
But nevertheless, it has no colour, shape or even size!
I looked and looked for hours there but nothing could be found
So I guess I must have dropped it and it's some here around (here, boy!)

Won't somebody help me look for it
We'll search until the dawn
For it seems I've lost me virtue
And I don't know where it's gone

Now, darling Tom, the miller's son, me special friend is he
He listened to me dreadful tale with heartfelt sympathy
Tonight he says we'll find it if I meet him at the brook
For he's got this special tool, you see - and it knows just where to look!

Won't somebody help me look for it
We'll search until the dawn
For it seems I've lost me virtue
And I don't know where it's gone

Won't somebody help me look for it
We'll search until the dawn
For it seems I've lost me virtue
And I don't know where it's gone
Gone, gone - it's surely gone!

This is my song, my copyright (Brian Leo). But you have the first line wrong. It's "I've looked along the highway and I've searched among the trees."
