Railrod Boy - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

She went upstairs to make her bed

And not one word to her mother said

Her mother she went upstairs too

Saying Daughter oh daughter

What's troublin' you

Oh mother dear I cannot tell

That railroad boy that I love so well

He courted me my life away

And now at home will no longer stay

There is a place in yonder town

That really boy goes and sits down

He takes that strange girl on his knee

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

Her father he came home from work

Sayin' Where is my daughter

She seems so hurt

He went upstairs to give her hope

An' he found her hangin' by a rope

He took his knife and he cut her down

And on her bosom these words he found

Go dig my grave both wide and deep

Put a marble stone at my head and feet

And on my breast put a snow white dove

To warn the world that I died of love
