Way up north, my love lies sleepin
Way up north, my love lies sleepin
Her lonely grave, beneath the pines
Her lonely grave, beneath the pines
How sadly I recall her memory
How sadly I recall her memory
She was my own true love devine
She was my own true love devine

One night I found her with another
One night I found her with another
They did not know I was around
They did not know I was around
In a blinded rage I drew my pistol
In a blinded rage I drew my pistol
I killed them both and fled that town
I killed them both and fled that town

For many days I wandered over
For many days I wandered over
Across the sea and desert sands
Across the sea and desert sands
My heart filled with grief and sadness
My heart filled with grief and sadness
I could not clense these, my blooded hands
I could not clense these, my blooded hands

For many years Ive been a prisoner
For many years Ive been a prisoner
My grayin hair marks off the time
My grayin hair marks off the time
Im going back to my old north-lands
Im going back to my old north-lands
To wash away my sin and pride x2
To wash away my sin and pride x2
