[1] Come little girl let's go get married
My love is so [4] great how can you slight [1] me
I'll work for [4] you both late and [1] early
At my [5] wedding little wife you'll [1] be
Oh Willy 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 dancin'
A jealous thought came through 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 he called her to him
She said Willy dear what do 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-drinkin'
That same old thought came through 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 Willy 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 into the sky
Oh God oh God ain't this a pity
That both true lovers are bound to die
