Weile Weile Waile |
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, |
Weile weile waila. |
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, |
Down by the river Saile. |
Well, she had a baby three months old, |
Weile weile waila. |
She had a baby three months old, |
Down by the river Saile. |
And she had a penknife long and sharp, |
Weile weile waila. |
She had a penknife long and sharp, |
Down by the river Saile. |
Then she stuck the penknife in the baby’s heart, |
Weile weile waila. |
She stuck the penknife in the baby’s heart, |
Down by the river Saile. |
The were three loud knocks came a-knocking on the door, |
Weile weile waila. |
Three loud knocks came a-knocking on the door, |
Down by the river Saile. |
There were two policemen and a special branch man, |
Weile weile waila. |
Two policemen and a special branch man, |
Down by the river Saile. |
They took her away and they put her in the Gaol |
Weile weile waila. |
They took her away and they put her in the Gaol |
Down by the river Saile. |
So they put a rope around her neck, |
Weile weile waila. |
They put a rope around her neck, |
Down by the river Saile. |
Then they pulled the rope and she got hung, |
Weile weile waila. |
They pulled the rope and she got hung, |
Down by the river Saile. |
Well that was the end of the woman in the wood, |
Weile weile waila. |
And that was the end of the baby, too, |
Down by the river Saile. |
