Died For Love
A bold young farmer courted me
He gained my heart and my liberty
He gained my heart with a free good will
And I must confess I love him still
I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain
I wish I was a maid again
But a maid again I shall never be
Since that young farmer lay with me
I wish my baby little was born
And I, poor girl, was dead and gone
And the baby on its father's knee
And the green, green grass growing over me
There is a house in yonder town
Where my love goes and sits him down
And takes some strange girl onto his knee
And he tells her things that he won't tell me
Go dig my grave, long, wide, and deep
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
Put over above a pure white dove
To let the world know I died for love
There is a bird in yonder tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
I wish it had been the same with me
When first I met your company
He gained my heart and my liberty
He gained my heart with a free good will
And I must confess I love him still
I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain
I wish I was a maid again
But a maid again I shall never be
Since that young farmer lay with me
I wish my baby little was born
And I, poor girl, was dead and gone
And the baby on its father's knee
And the green, green grass growing over me
There is a house in yonder town
Where my love goes and sits him down
And takes some strange girl onto his knee
And he tells her things that he won't tell me
Go dig my grave, long, wide, and deep
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
Put over above a pure white dove
To let the world know I died for love
There is a bird in yonder tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
I wish it had been the same with me
When first I met your company
