When I Was A Young Girl

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 jailhouse
 My body's abated 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 abated 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 abated 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 called out the plague
