lyrics

She went upstairs to make her bed
And not one word to her mother said
Her mother, she went upstairs too,
Said «Daughter, oh daughter, what’s troubling you?»
«Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell,
It’s that railroad boy I love so well
He’s courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay
There is a place in London town
where my love goes and he sits there down
He takes a strange girl on his knee,
And he tells her what he won’t tell me»
Her father he came home from work,
Said «Where’s my daughter, she seems so hurt»
He went upstairs to give her hope
And he found her hanging by the rope
He took his knife and he cut her down,
And on her bosom these words he found :
«Go dig my grave both wide and deep,
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my grave put a snow white dove,
To tell the world that I died of love»

Pollyanna Paris, France

A (French) indie-folkster. Her honest songwriting and her heart-warming voice has led her to share the bill with riot grrrls stars (Sleater Kinney), sophisticated indie pop (Wilco), chanson (Françoiz Breut), rootsy folksters in Tennessee and shanty choirs in Germany. Her experiences as an outsider (in Europe and the Americas) open up her musical field to all things pop, rock, folk and folklores. ... more
