When I Was A Young Girl lyrics
( Traditional - Texas Gladden )
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 ale house down into the jail house My body's 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 in breaking My body's salvating 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 in breaking My body's salvating and I'm bound to die One morning one morning one morning in may I saw this young lady all wraped in white linen All wraped in white linen and called out "the plague"
