• 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 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"
