Letra de Butcher's Boy

She went upstairs to make her bed And not one word to her mother said Her mother she went upstairs too Saying, "Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you?" "Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell That butcher's boy I love so well He courted me my life away And now at home he will not stay" "There is a place in London town Where that butcher's boy goes and sits down He takes that strange girl on his knee He tells her things he don't tell me" Her father he comes home from work Saying, "Where is my daughter, she looks so hurt" He went upstairs to give her hope Found her hanging from a rope He took his knife and he cut her down In her bosom these words were found "Go dig my grave both wide and deep Place a marble slab at my head and my feet And on my stone, place a snow white dove To warn this world I died for love" Oh mother, oh mother Mother me Oh Lord, oh Lord Lord in me
