Written by:Traditional[00:00:02]
There was an old widow in west moorland who had no daughter but one[00:00:15]
And she has prayed both night day she should keep her maidenhead long[00:00:18]
Ah don't be daft mother she said say no more to me[00:00:22]
For a fine young man in the grenadier guards my maidenhead's taken from me[00:00:26]
You saucy cat you impudent cat a cursed may you be[00:00:30]
If some idle rogue in the grenadier guards your maidenhead's taken from thee[00:00:33]
So she found the grenadier guards fast as go can she[00:00:52]
Saying give me back my maidenhead my mother she nags at me[00:00:56]
So he kissed her and undressed her and he laid her on the bed[00:00:59]
But he put her head where her feet were before and gave back her maidenhead[00:01:03]
Then he kissed her and he dressed her with a rose in either hand[00:01:07]
Invited her round to st Mary's church to see his fine wedding[00:01:11]
So girls she went to her mammy's again as fast as go can she[00:01:29]
I'm as full a maiden mammy dear as the day you first bore me[00:01:33]
Just he kissed me and undressed me and he laid me on the bed[00:01:37]
Put my head where my feet were before and he gave back my maidenhead[00:01:41]
Then he kissed me and he dressed me put a rose in either hand[00:01:44]
And invited me round to st Mary's church to see his fine wedding[00:01:48]
Ah never on foot her why do she said[00:01:52]
In a carriage and pair you'll ride[00:01:54]
With four and twenty fine young ladies go with you beside[00:01:56]
This is the bride she said she comes so high to me[00:02:44]
All the lime gees that widow's daughter ran home told her mammy[00:02:47]
How could she do it how would she[00:02:51]
How could she do it for shame[00:02:52]
Eleven long nights I have a man noises over anyone[00:02:55]
If eleven an angel lay with a man you never shall lie with me[00:02:58]
I'd rather marry the widow's daughter who ran home told her mammy[00:03:02]
