Verse 1
Am 
She Went
Upstairs to make her bed
Dm 
Am 
And not a word to her mother said
Her mother she went upstairs to
Dm 
Saying, daughter, oh, daughter,
Am 
Dm 
Am 
what's troubling you?
Oh, mother dear, I cannot tell
Dm 
That railroad boy that
Am 
I love so  well
He's courted me, my life away
Dm 
Am 
And now at home he will not stay
There is a place in London town
Dm 
Am 
That a rare old boy goes and sits down
He takes a strange car out of city
Dm 
Am 
And he tells to her, but he won't tell me
Her father he came home from work
Dm 
Saying where's my daughter,
Am 
Dm 
Am 
she seems so hurt
He went upstairs to give her hope
Dm 
Am 
And he found her hanged from a rope
He took a knife and he cut it down
Dm 
Am 
And on her bosom these words he found
Go dig my grave up wide and deep
Dm 
Am 
Put a marble stone at my  head and feet
And love my head, put a white snow dove
Dm 
Am 
E 
Am 
To show the world that I died of love
