Oh, Can't you see
a dark and distant sky
Because it's cast upon my soul
for all eternity
What I did to Lady Caroline
after she had trusted me
I went to another young maiden
and made her my own
In the quiet of my castle
when I thought we were alone
and so we were 'til the Lady Caroline
who came knocking on the door
She said ' Oh Sir, who was that maiden'
that followed to your door'
'I said my dear you are mistaken
there's no one here but me'
But I could not fool her
cause she knew what she had seen
She burst into my room
and there upon the bed
Was the trembling young maiden
whose face had gone quite red
And the lovely Lady Caroline
took a knife and struck her dead
And now she waits behind the bars
of the prison in the town
Sentenced to death, for murder
but no fault but mine
And now I will have no one
until the end of time
