When I Was A Young Girl (Album Ver.)

When I was a young girl I used to see pleasure When I was a young girl I used to drink ale Out of the ale house, down into the jail house My body salve-aided 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 salve-aided and hell is my doom Please send for the preacher to come and pray for me And send for the doctor to heal all my wounds My poor head is aching my sad heart is breaking My body salve-aided and I'm bound to die One morning, one morning, one morning in May, I saw this young lady all wrapped in white linnen All wrapped in white linnen and called out "the plague"
