>Lyrics go " In Jersey City where I used to dwell, a butcher boy I loved so well. He came and took my heart away, and then with me no more to stay. My father came home from a hard day's work and found me lying on the bed; he picked me up and put me down and in my hand these words he found: oh dig my grave and dig it deep, with marble walls from head to feet, and on my breast a snow white dove, to show the world I died from love." Where did this song come from?
