When I was a young girl I used to see pleasure |
|
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale |
|
Right out of the ale house and into the jail house |
|
Right out of the bar room and down to my grave |
|
Come mama come papa sit you beside me |
|
Come mama come papa and pity my case |
|
My poor heart is aching my heart it is breaking |
|
My body salve-aided and I'm bound to die |
|
Go send for the preacher to come and pray for me |
|
Go send for the doctor to heal up my |
|
My poor heart is aching my heart it is breaking |
|
My body salve-aided and hell is my home |
|
I want three young ladies to bear up my coffin |
|
I want three young ladies to take me along |
|
I want them to carry a bunch of wild roses |
|
To put on my body as I pass along |
|
One morning one morning in May |
|
One morning one morning in May |
|
I spy this young lady all clad in white linnen |
|
All clad in white linnen cold as a clay |
|
When I was a young girl I used to see pleasure |
|
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale |
|
Right out of the bar room |
|
Right out of the ale house and into the jail house |
|
Right out of the bar room down to my grave |
