Lyrics Weile Waile - Ronnie Drew, The Dubliners

Weile Waile

There was an old woman and she lived in the woods
Weile, weile, waile;
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods
Down by the river Saile
She had a baby three months old
Weile, weile, waile
She had a baby three months old
Down by the river Saile;
She had a penknife long and sharp
Weile, weile, waile
She had a penknife long and sharp
Down by the river Saile;
She stuck the penknife in the baby’s heart
Weile, weile, waile
She stuck the penknife in the baby’s heart
Down by the river Saile;
Three policemen and a detective bobby came knocking at the door
Weile, weile, waile
Three policemen and a detective bobby came knocking at the door
Down by the river Saile;
They pulled the rope and she was hung
Weile, weile, waile
They pulled the rope and she was hung
Down by the river Saile;
And that was the end of the woman in the woods
Weile, weile, waile
And that was the end of the baby too
Down by the river Saile
