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