She went _ _ [C] upstairs [A] to [E] make her _ bed,
And [Em] not one _ word to her mother [E] _
said.
_ Her mother [C] she _ [A] went [E]
upstairs to,
_ Saying, [G] Daughter, oh daughter, _ what [E] troubles you? _ _
_ _ [Am] Oh mother, oh mother, _ _ I [E] cannot tell,
_ That [G]
railroad boy _ I [E] love so well. _ _
_ [Am] He courted me, _ my life [E]
away,
_ [Em] And now [C] at home _ [Em] he [E] will not stay. _ _ _ _
There [Am] is a place _ in [E] London town,
_ Where that [C] railroad _ _ boy [Em] goes and sits [E] _
down.

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ He takes [Am] that _ _ strange [Em] girl on [E] his knee,
_ [Em] And [C] tells to _ her [Em] what he won't [E] tell me.

_ _ Her father [Em]
he _ came up [E] from work,
_ [G] Saying, Where is daughter?
_ She seems [E] so _ hurt.
[Am] He went upstairs _ to give her [E] hope,
_ [Em] And found [C] her _ _ [Em] hanging [E] from a rope. _
_ [A] _ He took [Em] his _ knife and cut [E] her down,
_ [Em] And in her _ bosom these words [E] he found. _ _ _
Go dig my [Am] grave, _ both wide and deep,
_ Place [G] a marble slab _ at my head [E] and feet,
_ And over my [G]
coffin [Am] _ place a snow [E] white dove,
To [G] warn the _ world I died [E] of love. _ _ _ _ _
