She went upstairs to make a bet
And not one word to her mother she said
Her mother she went upstairs to
Said daughter oh daughter what troubles you
Oh mother oh mother I cannot tell
That we're a boy I love so
well
He's caught in me
My life away
And now at home he will not stay
There is a place in London town
Where that railroad boy goes and says
It's down
And he takes that strange girl on his knee
And he tells to her what he won't tell me
Hey!
I'll call you to a peanut store
A peanut store
Is this your time or mine
Come to see me

Come here
Come on
One long walk


A million
A million
A million
I'll become a million
Come to see me



Father, he came in from work
He said, well, his daughter, she looks so hurt
He went upstairs to give her hope
But he found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and cut her down
And in a bosom, these words he found
But a dig my grave
Both white and dark
Put a marble slab at my head and feet
And over my bones
Put a snow white dove
So this world could see
That I died for love
and let it sing
Thank you.
