Lyrics
Bold Young Farmer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A bold young farmer courted me
He stole my heart and my liberty
He stole my heart without free good will
And i must confess that i love him still
I wish i wish but it's all in vain
I wish i was a maid again
But a maid again i never can be
Since such a young fellow lies still by me
There sits a bird in yonder tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
And i wish it was the same with me
Before i took up with your company
I wish my babe so tiny was born
And smiling on his father's knee
And i poor girl was dead and gone
With the green grass growing all over me
Oh dig my grave dig long and deep
Place a marble stone on my head and feet
And on my heart will snow my dove
To let the world know that i died for love
