schooner fare – the butcher boy lyrics
[verse 1: steve romanoff]
in dublin city, where i did dwell
a butcher boy i loved right well
he courted me my life away
but now with me he will not stay
[verse 2]
i wish, i wish, i wish in vain
i wish i were a maid again
but a maid again, i ne’er will be
’til cherries grow on an ivy tree
[verse 3]
i’m wishin’ my baby it was born
and smiling on his daddy’s knee
this wee poor girl would be dead and gone
with the tall green grass all over me
[verse 4]
she went upstairs to go to bed
and turning to her mother said
give me a chair ’til i sit down
and a pend and ink ’til i write down
[verse 5]
with every word she dropped a tear
with every line, cried willie dear
oh, what a foolish girl was i
to be led astray by a butcher boy
[verse 6]
he went upstairs, through 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
[verse 7]
oh, make my grave large, wide and deep
put a marble stone at my head and feet
and in the middle a turtle dove
that the world may know i died for love
