when I was a young girl

I had me a man

I called him me Papa

and he held me hand

 

while I was a young girl

me Papa did die

I sat by his graveside

and for long I did cry

 

la la le la la li li li li...

la la le la la li li li li...

 

when I was a women

I had me a man

I called him me husband

and I gave him me hand

 

while I was a bride

me husband did die

I sat by his graveside

and for long I did cry

 

la la le la la li li li li...

la la le la la li li li li...

 

when I was a widow

I had me a man

I called him me son

and I held his hand

 

before he was grown

me son did die

I sat by his graveside

and for long I did cry

 

la la le la la li li li li...

la la le la la li li li li...

 

now I am old

I have me no man

no one to console me

or to hold me hand

 

me times almost spent

and soon I will die

no one will sit by me graveside

and no one will cry

 

la la le la la li li li li...

la la le la la li li li li...

 

la la le la la li li li li...

la la le la la li li li li...
