Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 salivated 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 salivating 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 is breaking
My body's salivating 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 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 salivated 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 salivating 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 is breaking   My body's salivating 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
