And there was an old woman and she lived in the wood
A weila-weila-waila
There was an old woman and she lived in the wood
Down by the River Saile
She had a baby, three month old
A weila-weila-waila
She had a baby, three month old
Down by the River Saile
She had a pen-knife, long and sharp
A weila-weila-waila
She had a pen-knife, long and sharp
Down by the River Saile
She stuck the pen-knife in the baby's heart
A weila-weila-waila
Stuck the pen-knife in the baby's heart
Down by the River Saile
There was three loud knocks come knocking on the door
A weila-weila-waila
Three loud knocks come knocking on the door
Down by the River Saile
There was two policemen and a man
A weila-weila-waila
Two policemen and a man
Down by the River Saile
They took her away and put her in a jail
A weila-weila-waila
They took her away and they put her in the jail
Down by the River Saile
They put a rope around her kneck
A weila-weila-waila
They put a rope around her kneck
Down by the River Saile
They pulled the rope and she got hung
A weila-weila-waila
They pulled the rope and she got hung
Down by the River Saila
Now that was the end of the woman in the wood
A weila-weila-waila
That was the end of the baby too
Down by the River Saile
