When I Was A Young Girl
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 jailhouse
My body's abated 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 abated 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 abated 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
When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale
Out of the ale house down into the jailhouse
My body's abated 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 abated 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 abated 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
