The Bullring

I never, I never, loved like this before
She is the one I’d give my life for
She was only eighteen
I was just twenty-one
When I saw her long hair
Golden like sun
I watched her, I followed her
‘Till we were friends
We strolled through the park
Where the willow tree bends
I heard she had a lover
But I didn’t mind
I loved her so much
She would be mine in time
I never, I never, loved like this before
She is the one I’d give my life for
By the time I went with
A ring to her door
We’d walked down the aisle
A thousand times before
But she said «No, I’ll not marry you
You must go on alone
Gonna wait till my sailor boy
Sails back on home»
I said «Go on without you?
I don’t think I’ll be able»
And threw the diamond ring
Down on the table
It rolled, came to rest
Next a weapon replete
It was sharp, it was cold
It was silver, it was neat
I took it, went to her
Couldn’t bear life apart
I killed her, I killed her
With a knife through the heart
I never, I never, loved like this before
She is the one I would have killed for
