kirsty maccoll - the butcher boy lyrics

Loading...

in more street where i did dwell
a butcher boy i loved right well
he courted me my life away
and now with me he will not stay

i wish, i wish, i wish in vain
i wish i was a maid again
but a maid again i’ll never be
till cherries grow on an apple tree

i wish my baby it was born
and smiling on it’s daddy’s knee
and me poor girl to be dead and gone
with the long green gr-ss growing over me

he went upstairs and the door he broke
he found her hanging from a rope
he took his knife and he cut her down
and in her pocket these words he found

“oh make my grave large, wide and deep
put a marble stone at my head and feet
and in the middle a turtle dove
so the world may know i died of love”
