Ronnie Drew - Weile Waile

There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, weile weile waile
There was an old woman and she lived
in the woods, down by the river Saile

She had a baby three months old, weile weile waile
She had a baby three months old, down by the river Saile

She had a pen knife long and sharp, weile weile waile
She had a pen knife long and sharp, down by the river Saile

She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, weile weile waile
She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, down by the river Saile

There were three loud knocks come
a'knockin on the door, weile weile waile
There were three loud knocks come
a'knockin on the door, down by the river Saile

There was two policeman and a man
A weila weila waila
There was two policeman and a man
Down by the River Saile

They took her away and they put her into jail
A weila weila waila
They took her away and they put her into jail
Down by the River Saile

They put a rope around her neck
A weila weila waila
They put a rope around her neck
Down by the River Saile

They pulled the rope she got hung
A weila weila waila
They pulled the rope she got hung
Down by the River Saile

Now that was the end of the woman in the woods
A weila weila waila
And that was the end of the baby too
Down by the River Saile
