about

Based on the traditional Irish folk song

lyrics

I went to the market to search for my love
in the chapel that needed a toll
she was tawdry and young on the rive banks I bartered her life for my soul
Raguel betrayed her the favored son slayed her and buried her corpse
in the sand
my honor avenged as her spirit was crushed by my hand

'cause I murdered my lover down in St. Ives
down in St. Ives
down in St. Ives

she lay with the men all round Cromwell's cast
her pillars were parted in twian
and I lost her down in the mud on those slopes
she waited and labored in vain
the Dolphin revived it's patrons all tried her, I know she lives on with those jerks
she made me so doubtful but I've never been so sure

as I marched to the gallows down in St. Ives
down in St. Ives
down in St. ives
