THE BUTCHER BOY

 

In Jersey City, there did dwell. The butchers boy, I loved so well. He courted me, my heart away. And then with me, he would not stay

 

There was a house, in this very same town. My love would go an' set right down. An' take a strange girl upon his knee. An' tell her things that he would not tell me

 

And now I'll tell you the reason why. She had more gold and silver than I. Her gold may melt, her silver will fly. And then she will be as poor as I.

 

Her Mother, she, did come in late. Inquired, what ails my daughter, Kate? She went upstairs, the door she broke. An I found her hanging by a rope.

 

Oh, Mother dear, I cannot tell. The butchers boy, I love so well. He courted me, my heart away. An' then with me, he would not stay/

 

Oh, dig my grave, both wide and deep. Put a marble stone at my head and feet. Upon my breast place the snow white dove. To prove to the world, I died in love!
