I sit in the park where I dwell,
For this boy I love so well.
He took my heart away from me.
Now he wants to set me free.
I see a girl on his lap.
He says things to her he's never said to me.
I ran home to cry on my bed,
Not a word to my 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 dress 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.
