All wrapped in white linen and called out the plague
My poor head is aching my sad heart is breaking

My poor head is aching my sad heart in breaking
I saw this young lady all wrapped in white linen
My body's salivated and Hell is my doom
One morning, one morning, one morning in May
Out of the ale house down into the jail house
My body's salivating and Hell is my doom
Come mama, come papa and sit you down by me
And send for the doctor to heal all my wounds

My body's salivating and I'm bound to die
Please send for the preacher to come and pray for me

Come sit you down by me and pity my case
