Lyrics:

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

i Wish, I Wish But Its 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

there Sits A Bird In Yonder Tree
some Say Hes Blind And Cannot See
and I Wish It Was The Same With Me
before I Took Up With Your Company

i Wish My Babe So Tiny Was Born
and Smiling On His Fathers Knee
and I Poor Girl Was Dead And Gone
with The Green Grass Growing All Over Me

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
