Railroad Boy Lyrics - By A Thread - Gov't Mule

She went upstairs to make her bed 

And not a word to her mother said 

Her mother, she went upstairs too said 

"Daughter, oh daughter, what's troubling you?" 

Oh mother, I cannot tell 

That railroad boy that I love so well 

He courted me, my life away 

And now at home will no longer stay 

There's a place in London town 

Where the railroad boy goes and sits down 

Takes a strange girl on his knee 

Says things to her he won't say to me

Her father, he came home from work, said 

"Where's my daughter, what's troubling her?" 

He went upstairs to give her hope 

Found her hanging by a rope 

He took his knife, cut her down 

And on her bosom these words were found 

Oh dig my grave both wide and deep, place 

A marble stone at my head and feet 

Photos 

And on my breast place a white snow dove 

Won't you tell the world that I died for love 

To tell the world I died of love 

Tell the world that I died for love 

Wont you tell the world that I died for love
