Barbara Dane's song "When I Was a Young Girl"

When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale
Out of the ale house and into the jail house
Right out of the barroom and down to my grave
Come mama, come papa, and sit you beside me
Come mama, come papa, and pity my case
For my head it is aching, my heart it is breaking
My body’s salivated, and 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
My poor head is aching, my heart it is breaking
My body's salivated, and Hell is my doom
I want four young women to carry my coffin
I want three young maidens to carry me on
And each of them carry a bunch of wild roses
To lay on my body as I pass along
One morning, one morning, in May of the morning
One morning, one morning, the month of May
I spy this young lady all clad in white linen
All clad in white linen and cold as the clay
