When I Was A Young Girl Lyrics by Marlon Williams

Marlon Williams

2016

When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale
Straight out of the ale house down to the jailhouse
Straight from the barroom and down to my doom
Come mama, come papa, and sit you down by me
Come mama, come papa, and pity my case
My poor heart is aching, sad heart is breaking
My body's salivating and hell is my doom
Don’t send for the preacher to come and pray over me
Don’t send for the doctor, he won’t bind my wounds
My poor heart is aching, sad heart is breaking
My body's salivating and hell is my doom
One morning, one morning, one morning in May
I spied a young maiden all wrapped in white linen
All wrapped in white linen
And cold as the clay
When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale
Straight out of the ale house down to the jailhouse
Straight from the barroom and down to my doom
