In a path where I found myself,
I met a boy I loved so well.
He came into my heart by me,
But now this boy has set me free.
He took this girl upon his knee,
And told her things he never told me.
For this I know the reason why,
For this girl was much prettier than I.
I went home that night and cried on my bed,
And not a word to my mother was said.
My father came home later that night,
And searched the house from left to right.
There through the door he had broken down,
And he saw me hanging without a frown.
On the bedside this note was found,
And in the note these words were bound:
Dig a hole, and dig it deep,
In a marble tomb from head to feet,
And on the tomb please place a dove,
And tell the world I died for love!
