Solved: its a very old song

can anyone plse help me IM looking for a very old song called either "the *****s lament or " a *****s lament I know some of the words which go like this " A man came home from work one night to find his house without a light " bla bla bla another line from the song is " so dig my grave and dig it deep and place white lillies at my feet " more words from the song are " oh father dear I died in shame to bear this child without a name ..........Jaylee

I found a couple of names for the same song that has been altered.

The Borstal Boy
The Butcher Boy
Snow White Dove.

heres one version.

A Borstal Boy came home one night,
To find his house without a light,
He went upstairs to go to bed,
A sudden thought came into his head,
He went into his girlfriends room,
And found her hanging from a beam,
With his knife he cut her down,
Upon her breasts these words were found,
My darling Dave,I die in vain,
To bear a child without your name,
So dig my grave,and dig it deep,
And place White lillies around my feet.

So I dug here grave,
And dug it deep and placed White lillies around her feet,
Upon her breasts a turtle dove,
To show the world,she died for love,

So all you young girls bear in mind,
Borstal boys are hard to find,
If you find one,good and true,
Dont ever swap him,for someone new,
A Soldiers salute,
A Sailors Ahoy,
You`ll never beat a Borstal boy.
