| Lyrics: | Come little girl let's go get married
My love is so great, how can you slight me
I'll work
for you both late and early
At my wedding my little wife you'll be
Oh Willie dear,
let's both consider
We're both too young to be married now
When we're married, we're bound
together
Let's stay single just one more year
He went to the bar where she was
dancing
A jealous thought came to his mind
I'll kill that girl, my own true lover
Before
I let another man beat my time
He went to the bar and called her to him
She said Willie
dear, what you want with me
Come and drink wine with the one that loves you
More than anyone
else you know, said he
While they were at the bar a-drinking
That same old thought came
to his mind
He'd kill that girl, his own true lover
He gave her poison in a glass of
wine
She laid her head over on his shoulder
Said Willie dear, please take me
home
That glass of wine that I've just drinken
Has gone to my head and got me
drunk
He laid his head over on the pillow
Let me read you the law let me tell you my
mind
Molly dear, I'm sorry to tell you
We both drank poison in a glass of wine
They
folded their arms around each other
They cast their eyes unto the sky
Oh God, oh God, Ain't
this a pity
That the both true lovers are bound to die |
