At the Purchaser's Option |
| I’ve got a babe, but shall I keep him? |
| 'Twill come the day when I’ll be weepin' |
| But how can I love him any less? |
| This little babe upon my breast |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| I’ve got a body, dark and strong |
| I was young but not for long |
| You took me to bed a little girl |
| Left me in a woman’s world |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| Day by day, I work the line |
| Every minute overtime |
| Fingers nimble, fingers quick |
| My fingers bleed to make you rich |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| You can take my body |
| You can take my bones |
| You can take my blood |
| But not my soul |
| I’ve got a babe, but shall I keep him? |
