I sit in the park where I dwell
For this girl I loved so well
she took my heart away from me
Now she wants to set me free
i see her sitting on a boys lap
she says things to him she never said to me
I went home to cry on my bed
Not a word to mother was said
Father came home late that night
He looked at me from left to right
He saw me hanging from a rope
He took his knife to cut me down
And on my shirt a note was found:
Dig my grave Dig it deep
Dig my grave From head to feet
And on the top place a dove
And remember this, I died for love.
