lyrics

The day was long, the hours many
when we crossed the county line.
You said "be still, my one and only,
and I will make you, make you mine."

Dear Henry, I am so contrary,
I know not what goes through your head,
for if we two should ever marry,
my father he will shoot you dead.

Lucy, my dear I will confess
I did it well, he made no sound.
Your father dear can never harm us
from six feet underneath the ground.

Dear Henry, now what have you done!
My heart has just been split in two.
You've killed a man whose only daughter
was cursed to love the likes of you.

Lucy, my dear, I judged you wrong
you are not what my heart did seek.
This silver blade will not take long,
come near and bend your blushing cheek.
