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