[G] [D] [N]
When I was a [Ebm] young girl, I [N] used to seek pleasure.
When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale out of the alehouse, down into the jailhouse.
My body is salvated, and hell is my doom.
Come mama, come papa, and sit you down by me.
Come sit you down by me, and pity my case.
My poor head aching, my sad heart is breaking.
My body is salvated, and hell is [Eb] my doom.

[Cm] My poor head is aching, my sad heart [Gm] is breaking.
[Cm] My body is salvated, [Gm] and I'm [Fm] bound to [Cm] die.
[N] One morning, one morning, one morning in May,
I saw this young lady, all wrapped in white linen, all wrapped in white linen.
[Eb]
And call out the [Db] plague.
