| She went upstairs to make her bed and not a word to her | |
| Mother said her mother went upstairs too saying oh | |
| Daughter my daughter what troubles you | |
| Oh mother oh mother i can not tell that butcher that | |
| Butcher that boy I love so well he courted he courted my | |
| Life away and now at home at home he will not stay | |
| Ther is a place a place in london town wher that | |
| Butcher that boy he goes and sits down He takes that | |
| Strange that strange girl on his knee and tells her and | |
| Tells her what he won't tell me | |
| Her father her father came home from work saying my | |
| Daughter my daughter she looks so hurt he went upstairs | |
| Upstairs to give her hope and found her and found her | |
| Hanging from a rope | |
| He took a knife a knife and cut her down and in her | |
| Bosom her bosom a note he found go dig a grave | |
| Both wide and deep and place a marble slab at my head and feet | |
| And over my coffin my coffin place a snow white dove to | |
| Warn the world the world that I died for love |
