Young Girl's Lament [Mama Cass]

E na esteira desse meu momento nostalgia, um dos melhores blues que conheço. Levei muito tempo para conseguir a letra inteira.





Young girl’s lament



When I was a young girl, I used to to seek pleasure

When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale

Out of the ale house and down to a jail house

Right out of a bar room, down to my grave



Had he but told me, before he shamed me

Had he but told me about it in time

I could have had potions and salts of white mercury

But now I’m a young girl cut down in my prime



Get six gamblers to carry my coffin

Get me six young riders to sing me a song

Put bunches of roses all over my coffin

Roses to muffle the clods as they fall



When I was a young girl, I used to to seek pleasure

When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale

Out of the ale house and down, down to a jail house

My body is ruined, they left me to die
