lau – butcher boy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in edinburgh town where i did dwell
the fisher’s girl, i loved her well
i courted her for many days
she stole from me my heart away

[verse 2]
there is an inn in that same town
and there my love sits herself down
she sits upon a stranger’s knee
and tells him what she wouldn’t tell me

[chorus 1]
the reason is, i’ll tell you why
because he’s got more gold than i
but gold will melt and silver fly
in times of need he’ll be as poor as i

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
wrote a letter, wrote a song
wrote a letter, wrote it long
on every line i dropped a tear
that every verse cried “sarah dear”

[instrumental]

[verse 4]
i wrote a letter, wrote a song
i wrote a letter, wrote it long
on every line i dropped a tear
that every verse cried “sarah dear”

[chorus 2]
i wish, i wish, i wish in vain
i wish she was a maid again
a maid again she’ll never be
’till apples grow on an orange tree
