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