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 wounds
|
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
