Gov't Mule - Railroad Boy lyrics

She went upstairs to make her bed And not a word to her mother said Her mother, she went upstairs too, said daughter, oh daughter, what's troubling you? Oh mother, 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's a place in London town where the railroad boy goes and sits down Takes a strange girl on his knee, says things to her he won't say to me Her father, he came home from work, said where's my daughter, what's troubling her He went upstairs to give her hope, found her hanging by a rope He took his knife, cut her down, and on her bosom these words were found Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place a marble stone at my head and feet And on my breast place a white snow dove, won't you tell the world that I died for love To tell the world I died of love Tell the world that I died for love Wont you tell the world that I died for love
