She went upstairs to make her bed
And not one word to her mother said
Her mother she went upstairs too
Saying 'Daughter, oh Daughter, what's troubling you?'
"Oh Mother, oh Mother, I cannot tell,
It's that railroad boy that looks so well
He's courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay'
And not one word to her mother said
Her mother she went upstairs too
Saying 'Daughter, oh Daughter, what's troubling you?'
"Oh Mother, oh Mother, I cannot tell,
It's that railroad boy that looks so well
He's courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay'
