Harper (版)-Tom Paxton Father Father build me a cabin fine There I'll go at once and lay me down Build for me a bed of pine For I feel my time is a coming 'round Love of mine love of mine Love of mine love of mine No daughter of mine will suffer shame I'll build your cabin by the lake There I'll wait with you till Harper comes And his black and bloody life I'll take Love of mine love of mine Love of mine love of mine She lay down upon her bed of pain She was groanin'as her time drew nigh Thing Father turn your face unto the wall For I see a murder in your eyes Love of mine love of mine Love of mine love of mine Now Harper he stepped up to the cabin door His horse he'd left in the woods nearby He stepped into the cabin carelessly And he heard a low and a deadly cry Love of mine love of mine Love of mine love of mine Oh you bloody awful man My daughter's pain is all because of you You would not take her for your wedded wife And now it's a terrible thing that I must do Love of mine love of mine Love of mine love of mine He fired his gun and Harper he fell down His blood fell on the dark and Earthen floor Lie there lie there you faithless man You'll never break your vows no more Love of mine love of mine Love of mine love of mine
