[00:13.02]She went upstairs to make her bed
[00:20.42]And not one word to her mother said
[00:26.61]Her mother she went upstairs too
[00:33.98]Says "Daughter, dear daughter, what troubles you?
[00:40.88]"Oh Mother, oh Mother, I cannot tell
[00:47.86]That railroad boy I love so well
[00:54.54]He courted me my life away
[01:01.94]And now at home he will not stay"
[01:13.19]"There is a place in London town
[01:20.27]Where that railroad boy goes and sits down
[01:28.90]He takes that strange girl on his knee
[01:35.96]And he tells to her what he won't tell me"
[01:44.98]Her father he came in from work
[01:51.29]And said, "Where's daughter? She seems so hurt"
[01:58.10]He went upstairs to give her hope
[02:05.99]But found her hanging on a rope
[02:13.33]He took his knife and cut her down
[02:20.62]And in her bosom these words he found:
[02:27.54]"Go dig my grave both wide and deep
[02:35.40]Place a marble slab at my head and feet"
[02:44.89]And over my coffin place a snow-white dove
[02:52.22]To warn this world that I died for love
[02:57.28]
