I'll tell you a secret that nobody knows Something that happened a long time ago A tale that could give all I could stand It's left me a tired and a broken old man Way back in my youth there was a young girl I loved more than anything else in this world I swore that one day she'd be my wife And we'd live a happy and wonderful life Each night I would take her and where we'd be alone And we'd make love in Blackadders Cove Waited for months to ask her to wed I worked and I worked and I worked til I bled I built her a cabin with my own two hands To give as a gift when we made our plans I picked her some flowers and and took her to go I gave her a ring and she took my soul She told me she loved my brother instead I lost all control and ended her dead And the rain it did pour and the wind it blew cold As I dug her a grave in Blackadders Cove Way back in the hills where nobody goes I left her to rot in Blackadders Cove I tell you a secret that nobody knows Her body's still layin in Blackadders Cove
