Murdered I am as I walk the long road
That leads to the place I called home
A knife in the side my life it does bleed
May the devil look after his own
Mother! Mother
Don't wait for me now
Find a carriage and six and a coffin to fix
And lower me down in the ground
My friends and companions you weep for me now
For ne'er shall I see you again
My lover she comes with a sweet bunch of roses
To place at my head when I lie
Mother! Mother
Don't wait for me now
Find a carriage and six and a coffin to fix
And lower me down in the ground
Hanged will he be from the strong gallows tree
And strung by his neck till he dies
Till men cut him down he'll be talk of the town
And placed beside me where I lie
Mother! Mother
Don't wait for me now
Find a carriage and six and a coffin to fix
And lower me down in the ground
Lower me down in the ground
