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