A Am
In London town where I did dwell
F G Am
Lived a butcher's boy I loved so well
He stole from me my heart away
F G Am
But with me now he will not stay
A Am A
Am A
There is a house in London town
F G A
Where my true love he sits him down
Am A
And he takes a strange, strange girl on his knee
F G A
And he tells to her what he won't tell me
F G A
Am
It's grave to me and I'll tell you why
F G Am
Because she has more gold than I
D Am
But gold will melt and silver fly
F G Am
But true hearted love will never die
A Am F D G Am
A
Must I go bound as he goes free?
F G A
Must I love a man who won't love me?
Am
Go dig my grave both long and deep
F G A
Lay a marbled stone at my head and feet
Am A
And over my grave place a snow white dove
F G A
To show the world I died for love
