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 |
| Straight out of the ale house down to the jail house |
| Straight from the bar room and down to my doom |
| Come mama come papa and sit you down by me |
| Come mama come papa and pity my case |
| My poor heart is aching, sad heart is breaking |
| My body’s salvating and hell is my doom |
| Don’t send for the preacher to come and pray over me |
| Don’t send for the doctor, he won’t bind my wounds |
| My poor heart is aching, sad heart is breaking |
| My body’s salvating and hell is my doom |
| One morning, one morning, one morning in May |
| I spied this young maiden, all wrapped in white linen |
| All wrapped in white linen and cold as the clay |
| When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure |
| When I was a young girl I used to drink ale |
| Straight out of the ale house down to the jail house |
| Straight from the bar room and down to my doom |
