When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure |
|
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale |
|
Out of the ale house down into the jail house |
|
My body's salivated and Hell is my doom |
|
Come mama, come papa and sit you down by me |
|
Come sit you down by me and pity my case |
|
My poor head is aching my sad heart in breaking |
|
My body's salivating and Hell is my doom |
|
Please send for the preacher to come and pray for me |
|
And send for the doctor to heal all my wounds |
|
My poor head is aching my sad heart is breaking |
|
My body's salivating and I'm bound to die |
|
One morning, one morning, one morning in May |
|
I saw this young lady all wrapped in white linen |
|
All wrapped in white linen and called out the plague |
