I died for love
In the city where I dwell
I met this man I loved so well
Now he's gone and set me free
And say a new girl on his knee
I ran straight home to my bed
Not a word was said
My dad came home late that night
He looked for me from left to right
To my room my door he broke
And found me hanging from a rope
On my dresser this note he found,
Oh dig a grave and dig it deep
Place my headstone at my feet
On that stone please place a dove
Too show the world
I died for love.
