Born in England's pleasant green, like a picture postcard sceneTo childhood spread with fond maternal careFrom the day that he was born, proud relations came to fawnAnd compliment his pretty golden hairIn boyhood sent away to a boarding school to stayIt's crumbling proud traditions forced to bearAnd his friends in this new world said, he looks more like a girlWith those blue eyes and pretty golden hairFades secluded youthInto manhood's search for truthHis mother's eyes now wet had turned to stareFor he said I must be boundThis day for London townFor I believe my fortune's waiting thereSo, like an eager cutting knifeHe plunged in a new lifeOhh, never known beforehand anywhereAnd the thought that he might tripIn his ignorance and slipNever struck beneath his pretty golden hairAhh, the days soon grew thin and boredom fast set inHis job was thrown away without a careFor a man who softly said, you'll earn twice as much insteadWith those blue eyes and pretty golden hairWell, London town possessed of many a tempters nestAnd thus he fell with scarce another careAs so easily he slipped into prostitution's gripFoundationed by his pretty golden hairAhh, but the years quickly flew and his mind slowly grewFrom early freedom into deep despairAs the money ceased to roll. a tired and lonely soulPoured curses on his pretty golden hairAhh, the years stole their time, now, the living's hard to findAnd early friends have vanished in the airAnd the gay parties's ease changed to public lavatoriesHave turned to grey his pretty golden hairOhh, his life was only used and his body just abusedBy those who never think and never careBut though his file said suicide, no, that wasn't why he diedIt was murder by his pretty golden hair
