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