Railroad Boy Lyrics

	She went upstairs to make her bed
	And not a word to her mother said
	Her mother, she went upstairs too, said daughter, oh daughter, what’s troubling you?
	Oh mother, I cannot tell that railroad boy that I love so well
	He courted me, my life away, and now at home will no longer stay
	There’s a place in London town where the railroad boy goes and sits down
	Takes a strange girl on his knee, says things to her he won’t say to me
	Her father, he came home from work, said where’s my daughter, what’s troubling her
	He went upstairs to give her hope, found her hanging by a rope
	He took his knife, cut her down, and on her bosom these words were found
	Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place a marble stone at my head and feet
	And on my breast place a white snow dove, won’t you tell the world that I died for love
	To tell the world I died of love
	Tell the world that I died for love
	Wont you tell the world that I died for love

	She went upstairs to make her bed
	And not a word to her mother said
	Her mother, she went upstairs too, said daughter, oh daughter, what' s troubling you?
	Oh mother, I cannot tell that railroad boy that I love so well
	He courted me, my life away, and now at home will no longer stay
	There' s a place in London town where the railroad boy goes and sits down
	Takes a strange girl on his knee, says things to her he won' t say to me
	Her father, he came home from work, said where' s my daughter, what' s troubling her
	He went upstairs to give her hope, found her hanging by a rope
	He took his knife, cut her down, and on her bosom these words were found
	Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place a marble stone at my head and feet
	And on my breast place a white snow dove, won' t you tell the world that I died for love
	To tell the world I died of love
	Tell the world that I died for love
	Wont you tell the world that I died for love

	She went upstairs to make her bed
	And not a word to her mother said
	Her mother, she went upstairs too, said daughter, oh daughter, what' s troubling you?
	Oh mother, I cannot tell that railroad boy that I love so well
	He courted me, my life away, and now at home will no longer stay
	There' s a place in London town where the railroad boy goes and sits down
	Takes a strange girl on his knee, says things to her he won' t say to me
	Her father, he came home from work, said where' s my daughter, what' s troubling her
	He went upstairs to give her hope, found her hanging by a rope
	He took his knife, cut her down, and on her bosom these words were found
	Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place a marble stone at my head and feet
	And on my breast place a white snow dove, won' t you tell the world that I died for love
	To tell the world I died of love
	Tell the world that I died for love
	Wont you tell the world that I died for love
