《The Butcher’s Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] The Butcher's Boy (屠夫之子) - Preston Young

[00:00:12] She went upstairs to make her bed

[00:00:20] And not one word to her mother said

[00:00:26] Her mother she went upstairs too

[00:00:33] Says daughter dear daughter what troubles you

[00:00:40] Oh mother oh mother I cannot tell

[00:00:47] That railroad boy I love so well

[00:00:53] He courted me my life away

[00:01:01] And now at home he will not stay

[00:01:12] There is a place in London town

[00:01:19] Where that railroad boy goes and sits down

[00:01:28] He takes that strange girl on his knee

[00:01:35] And he tells to her what he won't tell me

[00:01:43] Her father he came in from work

[00:01:51] And said where's daughter she seems so hurt

[00:01:57] He went upstairs to give her hope

[00:02:05] But found her hanging on a rope

[00:02:12] He took his knife and cut her down

[00:02:20] And in her bosom these words he found

[00:02:27] Go dig my grave both wide and deep

[00:02:35] Place a marble slab at my head and feet

[00:02:44] And over my coffin place a snow white dove

[00:02:52] To warn this world that I died for love
