Capo 3
(all chords relative to capo)
Am Dm Am
When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure
Am Dm E
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
Am Dm Am
Out of the ale house down into the jail house
Am E Am
My body, salvated and hell is my doom
Am Dm Am
Come mama come papa and sit you down by me
Am Dm Em
Come sit you down by me and pity my case
Am Dm Am
My poor head is aching my sad heart in breaking
Am E Am
My body, salvated and hell is my doom
Am Dm Am
Please send for the preacher to come and pray for me
Am Dm Em
And send for the doctor to heal all my wounds
Am Dm Am
My poor head is aching my sad heart in breaking
Am E Am
My body, 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 called out, "the plague"
