Lyrics:

My heart is sad, oh I?m so lonely, thinking of the one I love
Never in my life I?ll meet her, unless in Heaven high above
She told me that she dearly loved me, ne?er she?d been untrue to me
Until the day I saw her walking, another man - another life, said she

Bury me in young green meadow, lay the sod o?er me
Under the shade of a wheeping willow-tree
You rambling boys of pleasure, always on the run
Now I?m dead and gone
I spied them standing near the river, he kissed her in the broad day-light
I shot the lady and her lover, and laid their corpses side by side

The coppers brought me up to prison, the judge said: 'Young man, you did wrong!'
The hangman led me to the gallows, he pulled the rope and I got hung
