Come little girl let's go get married |
|
My love is so great, how can you slight me |
|
I'll work for you both late and early |
|
At my wedding my little wife you'll be |
|
Oh Willie dear, let's both consider |
|
We're both too young to be married now |
|
When we're married, we're bound together |
|
Let's stay single just one more year |
|
He went to the bar where she was dancing |
|
A jealous thought came to his mind |
|
I'll kill that girl, my own true lover |
|
Before I let another man beat my time |
|
He went to the bar and called her to him |
|
She said Willie dear, what you want with me |
|
Come and drink wine with the one that loves you |
|
More than anyone else you know, said he |
|
While they were at the bar a-drinking |
|
That same old thought came to his mind |
|
He'd kill that girl, his own true lover |
|
He gave her poison in a glass of wine |
|
She laid her head over on his shoulder |
|
Said Willie dear, please take me home |
|
That glass of wine that I've just drinken |
|
Has gone to my head and got me drunk |
|
He laid his head over on the pillow |
|
Let me read you the law let me tell you my mind |
|
Molly dear, I'm sorry to tell you |
|
We both drank poison in a glass of wine |
|
They folded their arms around each other |
|
They cast their eyes unto the sky |
|
Oh God, oh God, Ain't this a pity |
|
That the both true lovers are bound to die |
