Turtle Dove

Through the park I did so dwell
I loved a boy and loved him well
He came and took my heart from me
and now he gave it back

He put a strange girl on his knee
Told her things he ever told me
I went home and said
'Mother, dear im going to bed'

My dad came home late that night
Searched for me from left to right
And through my door that he broke
He saw me hanging from a rope
He took a knife and cut me down
On my dress this note was found

'Digg my grave and digg it deep
Of marble stone from head to feet
Place on it a turtle dove
To show the world I died for love'
