Bold Young Farmer (Acoustic)

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 growing2 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
