Lyrics Weila Waila - Orthodox Celts

Weila Waila

There was an old woman and she lived in a wood
And she had a baby three months old
And she had a pen-knife long and sharp
Then she stuck the pen-knife in the baby’s heart
Then the three loud knocks come a-knocking at the door
There was two policeman and a man
Well they took her away and they put her in a jail
Then they put a rope around her neck
Then they pull the rope and she got hang
And that was the end of the woman in the wood
And that was the and of a baby too down by the river Soria
