She went upstairs to make her bed And not one word to her mother said. Her mother she went upstairs too Saying: Daughter, oh daughter, what's troublin' you?
Oh mother dear, I cannot tell That railroad boy that I love so well. He courted me my life away And now at home he will not stay.
There is a place in London town That railroad boy goes and sits down. He takes a strange girl on his knee And he tells to her what he won't tell me.
Her father he came home from work Sayin': Where is my daughter, she seems so hurt He went upstairs to give her hope An' he found her hangin' by a rope.
He took his knife and he cut her down And on her bosom these words he found:
Go dig my grave both wide and deep, Put a marble stone at my head and feet, And at my breast put a white-snow dove To tell the world that I died of love.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
