The Butcher Boy - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

In London city where I did dwell[00:00:07]

A butcher boy I loved right well[00:00:13]

He courted me my life away[00:00:20]

But now with me he will not stay[00:00:27]

I wish I wish I wish in vain[00:00:33]

I wish I was a maid again[00:00:40]

A maid again I ne'er will be[00:00:46]

'Til cherries grow on an apple tree[00:00:53]

I wish my baby it was born[00:01:00]

And smiling on its daddy's knee[00:01:07]

And me poor girl to be dead and gone[00:01:13]

With the long green grass growing over me[00:01:20]

She went upstairs to go to bed[00:01:27]

And calling up her mother said[00:01:33]

Give me a chair 'til I sit down[00:01:40]

And a pen and ink 'til I write down[00:01:47]

And at every line cried willie dear[00:01:54]

At every word she dropped a tear[00:02:00]

Oh what a foolish girl was I[00:02:07]

To be led astray by a butcher boy[00:02:14]

He went upstairs and the door he broke[00:02:21]

He found her hanging from a rope[00:02:27]

He took his knife and he cut her down[00:02:34]

And in her pocket these words he found[00:02:41]

Oh make my grave large wide and deep[00:02:48]

Put a marble stone at my head and feet[00:02:54]

And in the middle a turtle dove[00:03:01]

That the world may know that I died for love[00:03:08]
