Текст песни Butchers Boy

BUTCHER'S BOY

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 troubles you?"

"Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell

That butcher's boy 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

Where that butcher's boy goes and sits down

He takes that strange girl on his knee

And tells to her what he won't tell me"

Her father he came up from work

Saying, "Where is my daughter, she seems so hurt"Seeger Peggy - Butchers Boy - http://ru.motolyrics.com/seeger-peggy/butchers-boy-lyrics.html

He went upstairs to give her hope

And found her hanging from a rope

He took his knife and cut her down

And in her bosom these words were found

"Go dig my grave both wide and deep

Place a marble slab at my head and feet

And over my coffin, place a snow white dove

To warn the world that I died of love

from Peggy Seeger
