In dublin town
Where i did dwell
A butcher boy
I loved so well
He courted me
My life away
And now with me
He will not stay

I wish i wish
But i wish in vain
I wish i was
A maid again
But a maid again
I ne’er can be
Till apples grow
On an ivy tree

She went upstairs
To go to bed
And calling to
Her mother said
Bring me a chair
Till i sit down
And a pen and ink
Till i write down

I wish i wish
But i wish in vain
I wish i was
A maid again
But a maid again
I ne’er can be
Till apples grow
On an ivy tree

He went upstairs
And the door he broke
And found her hanging
From her rope
He took his knife
And cut her down
And in her pocket
These words he found:

"oh, make my grave
Large, white and deep
Put a marble stone
At my head and feet
And in the middle
A turtle dove
So the world may know
I died of love".

In more street where i did dwell
A butcher boy i loved right well
He courted me my life away
And now with me he will not stay

I wish, i wish, i wish in vain
I wish i was a maid again
But a maid again i’ll never be
Till cherries grow on an apple tree

I wish my baby it was born
And smiling on its daddy’s knee
And me poor girl to be dead and gone
With the long green grass growing over me

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 stone at my head and feet
And in the middle a turtle dove
So the world may know i died of love"
