Song: |
4/4 time - slow.
This is the sad Irish folk song
sung by Emily in "I Dies from Love."
Parts of the song were spread through-
out the episode, all sung solo by actress
Evin Crowley herself.
6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
In More Street where I did dwell
5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
A butcher boy I loved too well.
6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
He courted me, my life away,
-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
And now with me he will not stay.
6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
I wish I was a maid again!
6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 '6 -4 5
But a maid again I'll never be.
-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
Till cherries grow on an apple tree.
6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
I wish my baby it was born
5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
And smiling on its daddy's knee
6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
And me, poor girl, to be dead and gone
-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
With the long green grass growin' over me.
6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
He went upstairs and the door he broke.
5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
He found her hanging from a rope.
6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
He took his knife and he cut her down,
-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
And in her pocket, these words he found:
6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
"Oh make my grave large, wide and deep,
5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
Put a marble stone at my head and feet.
6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
And in the middle a turtle dove
-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
So the world may know I died for love."
End with this line: 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4 |
