The Butcher Boy

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
