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
[chorus:]
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
[chorus]
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
[chorus]
