Smoky Mtn. Deerskin Originals

Traditional

lyrics

No, brother I'll never be better
T'is useless to tell me so now
My heart only is waiting
For resting place under the snow

I only was dreaming, dear brother
How happy our home was with joy
Till a serpent crept into our eden
In the fair form of Christine Leroy

I was dreaming again of a bridal
One year ago, only tonight
When I blushed 'neath the gas lights above me
In the jewels and garments, so white

Now, she came with the face of an angel
And wished me a life time of joy
Oh, my heart sank within at the meeting
In th dark eyes of Christine Leroy

O, the diamonds shown bright in the tresses
Falling back from her fair waxen brow
And sparkled like tins, in the gas light
On her fingers as white as the snow

As she gave her soft hand to my husband
I knew that he thought me a toy
Beside the bright radiant glory
Of beautiful Christine Leroy

So, time wore away and my husband
Grew restless, care worn each day
And I knew t'was the wiles of a demon
That artfully (awfully) lured (blew) him away

At last, one bright night when I found them
T'was the sight of my life to destroy
Hand in hand, with her head on his shoulder
Sat my Harry and Christine Leroy

So, brother, be kind to your darling
Her poor heart is stricken and faint
At the thought of the wiles of the demon
Neath the beautiful face of a saint

When I lie 'neath the snow drifts of winter
Where no sorrow nor thing can destroy
Will you tell them they murdered your sister
God forgive him and Christine Leroy
