When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale Out of the in-house, down into the jailhouse My body is salvated, and hell is my doom Come mama, come papa, and sit you down by me Come sit you down by me, and pity my case My poor head is aching, my sad heart is breaking My body is salvated, and hell is my doom They sent for the preacher to come and pray for me And sent for the doctor to heal all my wounds My poor head is aching, my sad heart is breaking My body is salvated, and I'm bound to die One morning, one morning, one morning in May I saw this young lady all wrapped in white linen All wrapped in white linen And call out the plague Thank you for watching!
