[00:00.00]The Butcher's Boy - Buell Kazee
[00:12.85]She went upstairs to make her bed
[00:20.23]And not one word to her mother said
[00:26.37]Her mother she went upstairs too
[00:33.70]Says daughter dear daughter what troubles you
[00:40.30]Oh mother oh mother I cannot tell
[00:47.32]That railroad boy I love so well
[00:53.91]He courted me my life away
[01:01.05]And now at home he will not stay
[01:12.84]There is a place in London town
[01:19.68]Where that railroad boy goes and sits down
[01:28.15]He takes that strange girl on his knee
[01:35.68]And he tells to her what he won't tell me
[01:43.87]Her father he came in from work
[01:51.03]And said where's daughter she seems so hurt
[01:57.98]He went upstairs to give her hope
[02:05.83]But found her hanging on a rope
[02:12.31]He took his knife and cut her down
[02:20.04]And in her bosom these words he found
[02:27.48]Go dig my grave both wide and deep
[02:35.13]Place a marble slab at my head and feet
[02:44.68]And over my coffin place a snow white dove
[02:52.08]To warn this world that I died for love
