My heart is sad oh I'm so lonely thinking of the one I love
never in my life I'll meet her unless in heaven high above
she told me that she dearly loved me ne'er she'd been untrue to me
until the day I saw her walking "another man, another life" said she
Bury me in young green meadow lay the sod o'er me
under the shade of wheeping willow tree
you rambilng boys of pleasure are always on the run
now I'm dead and gone.
I spied them standing near the river he kissed her in the broad day-light
I shot the lady and her lover and laid their corpses side by side
Bury me in young green meadow lay the sod o'er me
under the shade of wheeping willow tree
you rambling boys of pleasure are always on the run
now I'm dead and gone.
The coppers brought me up to prison the judge said young man you did wrong
the hangman led me to the gallows he pulled the rope and I got hung
Bury me in young green meadow lay the sod o'er me
under the shade of wheeping willow tree
you rambling boys of pleasure are always on the run
now I'm dead and gone.
