A
E A
In More Street where I did dwell
D A
A butcher boy I loved right well
F#M Bm
He courted me my life away
E A
And now with me he will not stay
E A
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
D A
I wish I was a maid again
F#M Bm
But a maid again I'll never be
E A
Till cherries grow on an apple tree
E A
I wish my baby it was born
D A
And smiling on its daddy's knee
F#M Bm
And me poor girl to be dead and gone
E A
With the long green grass growing over me
E A
He went upstairs and the door he broke
D A
He found her hanging from a rope
F#m Bm
He took his knife and he cut her down
E A
And in her pocket these words he found
(solo) F#m Bm E A
E A
"Oh make my grave large, wide and deep
D A
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
F#M Bm
And in the middle a turtle dove
E A
So the world may know I died of love"
