Porters – Weile Weila lyrics

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 pen knife long and sharp, weile weile waile
She had a pen knife long and sharp, down by the river
Saile

She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, weile weile
Waile
She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, down by the
River Saile

There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the
Door, weile weile waile
There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the

Door, down by the river Saile

There were two policemen and a special-branchman, weile
Weile waile
There were two policemen and a special-branchman, down
By the river Saile

They put a rope around her neck, weile weile waile
They put a rope around her neck, down by the river
Saile

They pulled the rope and she got hang, weile weile
Waile
They pulled the rope and she got hang, 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
