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
