lyrics

she died in his arms
he will never forget it
but she was my girl
he knew it
and will always know it

i had no right to her love
but i had it just the same
although she carried my child
she bore another mans name
i was a ghost at her window
a shadow on her balcony
her last words were, "Billy,
why didnt you marry me?"

she gave me her innocence
when she was yet a flower
we met in secret every night
at the midnight hour
one morn i set out for London
my fortune for to find
when i returned my darling lass
was no longer mine

her wedding was no secret
by her father it was decreed
she begged him let it not be so
in the end she did concede
and accepted a man she did not love
to be her husband true
her hatred for him was sanctified
her love for me taboo
