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 salvated 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 salvating 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 in breaking
|
My body's salvating 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"
|
