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."
