My heart is sad, oh I′m so lonely, thinking of the one I love | |
Never in my life I′ll meet her, unless in Heaven high above | |
She told me that she dearly loved me, ne′er she′d been untrue to me | |
Until the day I saw her walking, another man - another life, said she | |
[chorus:] | |
Bury me in young green meadow, lay the sod o′er me | |
Under the shade of a wheeping willow-tree | |
You rambling boys of pleasure, always on the run | |
Now I′m dead and gone | |
I spied them standing near the river, he kissed her in the broad day-light | |
I shot the lady and her lover, and laid their corpses side by side | |
[chorus] | |
The coppers brought me up to prison, the judge said: "Young man, you did wrong!" | |
The hangman led me to the gallows, he pulled the rope and I got hung | |
[chorus] |
My heart is sad, oh I m so lonely, thinking of the one I love | |
Never in my life I ll meet her, unless in Heaven high above | |
She told me that she dearly loved me, ne er she d been untrue to me | |
Until the day I saw her walking, another man another life, said she | |
chorus: | |
Bury me in young green meadow, lay the sod o er me | |
Under the shade of a wheeping willowtree | |
You rambling boys of pleasure, always on the run | |
Now I m dead and gone | |
I spied them standing near the river, he kissed her in the broad daylight | |
I shot the lady and her lover, and laid their corpses side by side | |
