Sweet Alice Boe
The story of little Alice Boe
With eye’s of blue and long blonde hair
She see’s the world with little care
With only friends, no-one a foe
The world once kind to Alice Boe
Into this world she came along
Carried in on a golden song
No beauty yet the world did see
Every note in harmony
The innocence the joy and pride
And such a smile no love could divide
Yet there was a man who didn’t see her glow
And only wanted to hurt sweet Alice Boe
It is said she walked alone one day
From whence she came with all did play
He saw her walking from this park
And drew her to his world so dark
She tried to run, to scream and cry
But all he wanted was for her to die
He held her little head with might
And took away her life that night
Now all the men are searching the land
For this little child with a powerless hand
No longer will she run and grow
Life has been taken from Alice Boe
The monster in a hat and coat
There is no escape by foot or boat
The men will catch for your act
They have all agreed and made a pact
Her long blonde hair matted on her head
Full of dirt and streaked blood red
Yet still her eyes are shining bright
Staring into this darkest night
This man will run he will found
His hands and feet they will be bound
Upon this boat the men do row
Looking for justice for Alice Boe
So Alice Boe, this little girl
With long blonde hair set with a curl
Her skin so white and still so clean
Taken away by an act so mean.
Alice Boe we will not forget
A more beautiful child I have never met
And though times will pass and rivers flow
We will always remember sweet Alice Boe
