The Butcher Boy chords

In [C] London city, where [G] I did [C] dwell
A butcher [F] boy, I [G] loved right [C] well
He courted me, my life [G] away
But now with [G7] me, he will not [C] stay

I [C] wish, I wish, I [G] wish in [C] vain
I wish I [F] was a [G] maid a[C]gain
A maid again I ne'er [G] will be
'Till cherries [G7] grow on an ivy [C] tree

I [C] wish my baby [G] it was [C] born
And smiling [F] on its [G] daddy's [C] knee
And me poor girl to be dead [G] and gone
With the long [G7] green grass growing [C] over me

She [C]went upstairs [G] to go to [C] bed
And calling [F] to her [G] mother [C] said
"Give me a chair 'till I [G] sit down
And a pen [G7] and ink 'till I write [C] down"

At [C] every word she [G] dropped a [C] tear
And at every [F] line cried [G] "Willie [C] dear -
Oh, what a foolish girl [G] was I
To be led [G7] astray by a butcher [C] boy"

He [C] went upstairs and the [G]door he [C] broke
He found her [F] hanging [G] from a [C] rope
He took his knife and he cut [G] her down
And in her [G7] pocket, these words he [C] found

Oh, [C] make my grave large, [G] wide and [C] deep
Put a marble [F] stone at my [G] head and [C] feet
And in the middle, a turt[G]le dove
That the world [G7] may know, that I died for [C] love.
