Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She went upstairs to make her bed
And not a word to her mother said
Her mother, she went upstairs too
Said, "Daughter, oh, daughter, what's troubling you?"
[Verse 2]
Oh mother, I, I cannot tell
That railroad boy that I love so well
He courted me, my life away
And now at home, no longer stay
[Verse 3]
There's a place in London town
Where the railroad boy goes and sits down
Takes a strange girl on his knee
Says things to her he won't say to me"
[Verse 4]
Her father, he came home from work
Said, "Where's my daughter? What's troubling her?"
We went upstairs to give her hope
Found her hanging by a rope
[Verse 5]
He took his knife, cut her down
On on her bosom these words were found
Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
[Verse 6]
And on my breast, place a white snow dove
Won't you tell the world that I died for love?
To tell the world I died of love
[Verse 7]
Tell the world that I died for love
Won't you tell the world that I died for love?
