The Butcher's Boy (屠夫之子) - Buell Kazee[00:00:00]
She went upstairs to make her bed[00:00:12]
And not one word to her mother said[00:00:20]
Her mother she went upstairs too[00:00:26]
Says daughter dear daughter what troubles you[00:00:33]
Oh mother oh mother I cannot tell[00:00:40]
That railroad boy I love so well[00:00:47]
He courted me my life away[00:00:53]
And now at home he will not stay[00:01:01]
There is a place in London town[00:01:12]
Where that railroad boy goes and sits down[00:01:19]
He takes that strange girl on his knee[00:01:28]
And he tells to her what he won't tell me[00:01:35]
Her father he came in from work[00:01:43]
And said where's daughter she seems so hurt[00:01:51]
He went upstairs to give her hope[00:01:57]
But found her hanging on a rope[00:02:05]
He took his knife and cut her down[00:02:12]
And in her bosom these words he found[00:02:20]
Go dig my grave both wide and deep[00:02:27]
Place a marble slab at my head and feet[00:02:35]
And over my coffin place a snow white dove[00:02:44]
To warn this world that I died for love[00:02:52]
