Come little girl let's go get married

My love is so great, how can you slight me

I'll work for you both late and early

At my wedding my little wife you'll be



Oh Willie 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 dancing

A jealous thought came to 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 called her to him

She said Willie dear, what 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-drinking

That same old thought came to 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 Willie 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 unto the sky

Oh God, oh God, Ain't this a pity 

That the both true lovers are bound to die
