And I found her there beneath that willow tree, and I said "Oh, my darling won't you come with me?"
She said No, Charlie Boy, I can't go with you,
I'm pledged to another by my mother
Though our love ain't true."
Said "Well, what if I took your hand
And I lead you across the sea?
Then would forget 'bout him?
Would you marry me?" She said
"No, Charlie Boy, that just cannot be
If we flee the ocean blue, you'd shame my family."
Said "What if I took a knife
And I put it in his chest?
Then would you believe me, darling That I love you best?"
They said "No, Charlie Boy
That just wouldn't do
If you put a knife in his chest
Well I'll be after you."
So I see her standing up there
In a white-laced dress
And the priest cry's out
"Does anyone protest?" They said "No, Charlie Boy, sit back in your pew She's marrying another man
There's nothing you can do."
And I guess I couldn't take it, and I just saw red
And I pulled my pistol off my hip, and I shot him in the head And they said
"No, Charlie Boy, what the hell'd you do?
You killed him on his wedding night
The hangman'll have you soon."
So I'm rotting here, in this city cell
'Bout tomorrow morning, I'll be resting in hell, they said "Oh, Charlie Boy, look how far you fell
She never even loved you, now she never will."
