Top set that night pal! Loved it and I hope to catch you live again! I was the just off screen at the right, that's my brother there on the edge of the frame. Nice to share a wee fistbump with you at the end!
In London city where I did dwell A butcher boy I loved right well He courted me my life away But now with me he will not stay I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I was a maid again A maid again I ne'er will be Till the long green grass grows over me When she went upstairs up to go to bed And calling to her mother said "Give me a chair, so I sit down And a pen and ink, so i write down" At every line cried "Willy dear" At every word she dropped a tear Oh what a foolish girl was I? To be led astray by a butcher boy He went upstairs and the door he broke He found her hanging from a rope He took his knife and he cut her down And in her pocket these words he found: "Oh, make my grave large, wide and deep Put a marble stand at my head and feet And in the middle a turtle dove That the world may know that I died for love

In London city where I did dwell
A butcher boy I loved right well
He courted me my life away
But now with me he will not stay
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I was a maid again
A maid again I ne'er will be
Till the long green grass grows over me
When she went upstairs up to go to bed
And calling to her mother said
"Give me a chair, so I sit down
And a pen and ink, so i write down"
At every line cried "Willy dear"
At every word she dropped a tear
Oh what a foolish girl was I?
To be led astray by a butcher boy
He went upstairs and the door he broke
He found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and he cut her down
And in her pocket these words he found:
"Oh, make my grave large, wide and deep
Put a marble stand at my head and feet
And in the middle a turtle dove
That the world may know that I died for love
