She went upstairs to make her bed |
| [00:36.17] |
And not one word to her mother said |
| [00:41.11] |
Her mother she went upstairs too |
| [00:45.91] |
Saying, Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you? |
| [00:53.35] |
Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell |
| [00:58.15] |
That butcher's boy I love so well |
| [01:03.11] |
He courted me my life away |
| [01:07.66] |
And now at home he will not stay |
| [01:17.25] |
There is a place in London town |
| [01:22.15] |
Where that butcher's boy goes and sits down |
| [01:26.88] |
He takes that strange girl on his knee |
| [01:31.73] |
He tells her things he don't tell me |
| [02:05.55] |
Her father he comes home from work |
| [02:10.40] |
Saying, Where is my daughter, she looks so hurt |
| [02:15.24] |
He went upstairs to give her hope |
| [02:20.18] |
Found her hanging from a rope |
| [02:27.79] |
So He took his knife and he cut her down |
| [02:32.62] |
And In her bosom these words were found |
| [02:42.82] |
Go dig my grave both wide and deep |
| [02:48.12] |
Place a marble slab at my head and my feet |
| [02:53.82] |
And on my stone, place a snow white dove |
| [02:59.45] |
To warn this world I died for love |
