D-DU-UDU
When  I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure
 When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
 Right out of the ale house and into  the jail  house
 Right out of the bar room and down  to my grave
(right  down  to my  grave)
Come mama come papa  sit  you beside  me
 Come mama come papa pity my case
Cause  my  head it is  aching  my heart it is  breaking
 My body salvaided, oh, I'm bound to die
 Go send for the preacher to come and pray for me
 Go send for the doctor to heal up my wounds
 Cause my head it is aching my heart it is breaking
 My body salvaided and hell is my home
 I want three young ladies to bear up my coffin
 I want three young ladies to take me along
 You know that I want them to carry, oh a bunch of wild roses
 To lay on my body as I pass along
One  morning,  one morning,  one morning in May
 One morning, one  morning in May
I  spy  this young lady all  clad in white linnen
All clad  in white linnen  cold as a clay
When I  was a young  girl I  used  to seek pleasure
 When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
Right  out of the ale  house, mhmm into  the jail  house
Right out  of the bar  room
 and right down
 ooh, right down
 oh right dooOooOooOwn to my-y-y-y-y GRAAAAAAAAAAAAVE !
