Lyrics
One bright shiny morning as I was out walking
One bright shiny morning so early one day
Well who should I meet but my own darling daughter
She was wrapped up in flannel most colder than clay
Come dearest mother come and sit down beside me
Oh come dearest mother come and pity my crime
For my sad heart is aching, my poor heart is breaking
I'm deep in salvation and surely must die
Send for the young man that first introduced me
Send for that young man who hurried my fate
For my poor head is aching and my bones they are breaking
I'm deep in salvation and surely must die
Oh send for the doctor to come straight away to me
Oh send for the doctor although it's too late
For if he would have told me of the tricks he could have sold me
For I am a young girl cut down in my prime
Six jolly sailors come and carry my coffin
Six jolly young sailors come and walk by my side
And a bunch of primroses to put on my coffin
For the people will smell me when I'm passing them by
For my name is Loretta but don't call my name
