Railroad Boy

She went upstairs to make her bed

Not one word to her mother said

Her mother seeing her daughter's fears

Went upstairs to talk to her

Oh, daughter, oh, daughter

What can it be, tell me what can the matter be

Oh, mother, oh, mother

I cannot tell, that railroad boy that I love so well

There in yonder town, that's where he goes

And sits him down

He takes another on his knee

And he tells to her what he won't tеll me

Her father, hе came home from work

Saying "why is my daughter hurt"

He went upstairs to give her hope

Found her hanging thru the rope

He take his knife and cut her down

And in her bosom this note was found

"Go dig my grave both wide and deep

Put marble stone at my head and feet

And on my breast put turtle dove

To warn this world that I died for love"
