When I Was a Young Girl - Nina Simone

Written by：Mure

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

Come mama come papa

Sit you beside me

Come mama come papa

And pity my case

My poor heart is aching

My heart it is breaking

My body salve aided 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 shoes

My poor heart is aching

My heart it is breaking

My body salve aided

And hell is my home

I want three young ladies

To bear up my coffin

I want three young ladies

To take me along

I want them to carry

A bunch of wild roses

To put on my body

As I pass along

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 see pleasure

When I was a young girl

I used to drink ale

Right out of the bar room

Right out of the ale house

And into the jail house

Right out of the bar room

Down to my grave
