Oh father tonight they say you are, to wed another bride

And father do you think she'll love, your blind and helpless child?

But when I've cried myself to sleep, as I so often do

Into my chamber you may creep, my new-made mama and you

They buried her by her mother's side and erected a marble square

And there on the tomb these words do read, she'll not be blind up there
