| [00:13.02] |
She went upstairs to make her bed |
| [00:20.42] |
And not one word to her mother said |
| [00:26.61] |
Her mother she went upstairs too |
| [00:33.98] |
Says "Daughter, dear daughter, what troubles you? |
| [00:40.88] |
"Oh Mother, oh Mother, I cannot tell |
| [00:47.86] |
That railroad boy I love so well |
| [00:54.54] |
He courted me my life away |
| [01:01.94] |
And now at home he will not stay" |
| [01:13.19] |
"There is a place in London town |
| [01:20.27] |
Where that railroad boy goes and sits down |
| [01:28.90] |
He takes that strange girl on his knee |
| [01:35.96] |
And he tells to her what he won't tell me" |
| [01:44.98] |
Her father he came in from work |
| [01:51.29] |
And said, "Where's daughter? She seems so hurt" |
| [01:58.10] |
He went upstairs to give her hope |
| [02:05.99] |
But found her hanging on a rope |
| [02:13.33] |
He took his knife and cut her down |
| [02:20.62] |
And in her bosom these words he found: |
| [02:27.54] |
"Go dig my grave both wide and deep |
| [02:35.40] |
Place a marble slab at my head and feet" |
| [02:44.89] |
And over my coffin place a snow-white dove |
| [02:52.22] |
To warn this world that I died for love |
| [02:57.28] |
|
