lirik lagu tommy makem – the butcher boy
in london city where i did dwell
a butcher boy, i loved right well
he courted me, my life away
but now with me, he will not stay
i wish, i wish, i wish in vain
i wish i was a maid again
a maid again i ne’er will be
’till cherries grow on an apple tree
i wish my baby it was born
and smiling on its daddy’s knee
and me poor girl to be dead and gone
with the long green gr-ss growing over me
she went upstairs to go to bed
and calling to her mother said
‘give me a chair ’till i sit down
and a pen and ink ’till i write down’
at every word she dropped a tear
and at every line cried ‘willie dear –
oh, what a foolish girl was i
to be led astray by a butcher boy’
he went upstairs and the door he broke
he found her hanging from a rope
he took his knife and he cut her down
and in her pocket, these words he found
oh, make my grave large, wide and deep
put a marble stone at my head and feet
and in the middle, a turtle dove
that the world may know, that i died for love
