The Butcher's Boy
In London town where I did dwell
Lived a butcher's boy I loved so well
He stole from me my heart away
But with me now he will not stay
There is a house in London town
Where my true love he sits him down
And he takes a strange, strange girl on his knee
And he tells to her what he won't tell me
It's grave to me and I'll tell you why
Because she has more gold than I
But gold will melt and silver fly
But true hearted love will never die
Must I go bound as he goes free?
Must I love a man who won't love me?
Go dig my grave both long and deep
Lay a marbled stone at my head and feet
And over my grave place a snow white dove
To show the world I died for love
Lived a butcher's boy I loved so well
He stole from me my heart away
But with me now he will not stay
There is a house in London town
Where my true love he sits him down
And he takes a strange, strange girl on his knee
And he tells to her what he won't tell me
It's grave to me and I'll tell you why
Because she has more gold than I
But gold will melt and silver fly
But true hearted love will never die
Must I go bound as he goes free?
Must I love a man who won't love me?
Go dig my grave both long and deep
Lay a marbled stone at my head and feet
And over my grave place a snow white dove
To show the world I died for love
