Seeger Peggy - Butchers Boy слова песни
BUTCHER`S BOYShe went upstairs to make her bedAnd not one word to her mother saidHer mother she went upstairs tooSaying, "Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you?""Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tellThat butcher`s boy I love so wellHe courted me my life awayAnd now at home he will not stay""There is a place in London townWhere that butcher`s boy goes and sits downHe takes that strange girl on his kneeAnd tells to her what he won`t tell me"Her father he came up from workSaying, "Where is my daughter, she seems so hurt"He went upstairs to give her hopeAnd found her hanging from a ropeHe took his knife and cut her downAnd in her bosom these words were found"Go dig my grave both wide and deepPlace a marble slab at my head and feetAnd over my coffin, place a snow white doveTo warn the world that I died of lovefrom Peggy SeegerRecorded on Folkways Anthologyfilename[ BUTCHBOYSF===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
