Little Glass Of Wine

Lyrics

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
