Gérard MANSET - Il voyage en solitaire

Sarah BOYLE - The Butcher Boy



In Moore street, 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 were, a maid again
But maid again, I'll never be
'Til cherries grow, on an ivy tree

I wish my baby it was born
And 'til be smiling, on it's daddy's knee
And me poor girl, to be dead and gone
With the long green grass, 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 shed a tear
At every line, cried Willie dear
Oh what a foolish girl am I
To be led astray, by a butcher boy

He went upstairs, and the door he broke
He found her hanging, by 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 between, a turtle dove
That the world may know, I died for love
