At the Purchaser's Option

Lyrics

I've got a babe but shall I keep him
 'Twill come the day when I'll be weepin'
 But how can I love him any less
 This little babe upon my breast
 You can take my body
 You can take my bones
 You can take my blood
 But not my soul
 You can take my body
 You can take my bones
 You can take my blood
 But not my soul
 ♪
 I've got a body dark and strong
 I was young but not for long
 You took me to bed a little girl
 Left me in a woman's world
 You can take my body
 You can take my bones
 You can take my blood
 But not my soul
 You can take my body
 You can take my bones
 You can take my blood
 But not my soul
 ♪
 Day by day I work the line
 Every minute overtime
 Fingers nimble, fingers quick
 My fingers bleed to make you rich
 You can take my body
 You can take my bones
 You can take my blood
 But not my soul
 You can take my body
 You can take my bones
 You can take my blood
 But not my soul
 You can take my body (you can take)
 You can take my bones (my body, you can take)
 You can take my blood (my bones, you can take)
 But not my soul (my soul)
 Take my body (you can take)
 You can take my bones (my body, you can take)
 You can take my blood (my bones)
 But not my soul (you can take my blood)
 ♪
 I've got a babe but shall I keep him
