My father left me sad inside this world
She found him in the attic with a noose
He died inside before the rope he curled
My mother made me swear to make a truse
Stay here she asked fearing being alone
Don’t leave me like your father did please stay
My mother never guessed he would betray
The life he took hurt us more than he thought
Now i’m picking out a bed to bury
To say goodbye the chance he gave us not
So now he shall never see me marry
My father is dead buried in the ground
I broke my promise I shall never sound
