Round the Bend

I came round the bend to see my girl but she was dead Her cold and pale body lay in our wedding bed Her ma was all in tears because her girl was dead And I could only think about about the life she led They said she took poison to take her life away Left a note that said she'd be gone today I could only cry and wash my tears away Bleeding out my eyes to satisfy my dismay I loved her and she loved me but not enough They said her life was long and things were pretty rough But I thought she had will because she was pretty tough And I don't know what happened that made her take enough Love my girl, love my girl I loved that girl I came round the bend to see my girl but she was dead Her cold and pale body lay in our wedding bed Her ma was all in tears because her girl was dead So I laid her body down in an earthly bed
