A Bold Young Farmer Lyrics - Somewhere - Eva Cassidy

A bold young farmer courted me 

He stole my heart and my liberty 

He stole my heart without free goodwill 

And I must confess that I love him still 

I wish, I wish but it? s all in vain 

I wish I was a maid again 

But a maid again I never can be 

Since such a young fellow lies still by me 

There sits a bird in yonder tree 

Some say he? s blind and cannot see 

And I wish it was the same with me 

Before I took up with your company 

I wish my babe so tiny was born 

And smiling on his father? s knee 

And I poor girl was dead and gone 

With the green grass growing all over me

Go dig my grave, dig long and deep 

Place a marble stone at my head and feet 

And on my heart put a snow white dove 

To let the world know that I died for love
