Way Up North, My Love Lies Sleepin'

Her Lonely Grave, Beneath The Pines

How Sadly I Recall Her Memory

She Was My Own True Love Devine



One Night I Found Her With Another

They Did Not Know I Was Around

In A Blinded Rage I Drew My Pistol

I Killed Them Both And Fled That Town



For Many Days I Wandered Over

Across The Sea And Desert Sands

My Heart Filled With Grief And Sadness

I Could Not Clense These, My Blooded Hands



For Many Years I've Been A Prisoner

My Grayin' Hair Marks Off The Time

I'm Going Back To My Old North-lands

To Wash Away My Sin And Pride

To Wash Away My Sin And Pride
