Bad Girl-Shirley Collins

[00:01.852]One morning, one morning, one morning in May [00:11.265]I met this young lady wrapped up in white linen, [00:20.864]All dressed in white linen, cold as the clay. [00:34.564]“When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure, [00:41.245]When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale. [00:47.945]Right out of an ale house down into the jailhouse, [00:56.437]Right out of the barroom down to my grave. [01:04.789] [01:07.355]“Come mama, come papa, and sit you down by me, [01:14.548]Sit you down by me and pity my case. [01:20.753]For my poor head is achin', my poor heart is breakin', [01:29.144]I am a poor young girl and I know I've done wrong. [01:39.899]“Go send for the preacher to come and pray for me [01:47.048]Send for the doctor to heal up my wounds. [01:53.407]For my poor head is achin', my sad heart is breakin, [02:01.708]My body's salivated and I know I must die.” [02:12.633]One morning, one morning, one morning in May [02:19.415]I met this young lady wrapped up in white linen, [02:27.827]All dressed in white linen, cold as the clay.
