Verso 1: A bold young farmer courted me He stole my heart and my liberty He stole my heart without free goodwill And I must confess that I love him still Verso 2: I wish, I wish but it‘s all in vain I wish I was a maid again But a maid again I never can be Since such a young fellow lies still by me Verso 3: There sits a bird in yonder tree Some say he‘s blind and cannot see And I wish it was the same with me Before I took up with your company Verso 4: I wish my babe so tiny was born And smiling on his father’ s knee And I poor girl was dead and gone With the green grass growing all over me Verso 5: Go dig my grave, dig long and deep Place a marble stone at my head and feet And on my heart put a snow white dove To let the world know that I died for love
