Lyrics Weila Waila (Live) - The Dubliners

There was an old woman
And she lived in the wood
Weila Weila Waila
There was an old woman
And she lived in the wood
Down by the River Saila
She had a baby
Three month old
Weila Weila Waila
She had a baby
Three month old
Down by the River Saila
She had a pen-knife
Long and sharp
Weila Weila Waila
She had a pen-knife
Long and sharp
Down by the River Saila
Then she stuck the pen-knife
In the baby's heart
Weila Weila Waila
She stuck the pen-knife
In the baby's heart
Down by the River Saila
Two policemen
And a Special Branch man
Weila Weila Waila
Two policemen
And a Special Branch man
Down by the River Saila
They put a rope
Around her kneck
Weila Weila Waila
They put a rope
Around her kneck
Down by the River Saila
Then they pulled the rope
And she got hung
Weila Weila Waila
They pulled the rope
And she got hung
Down by the River Saila
And that was the end
Of the woman in the wood
Weila Weila Waila
That was the end
Of the woman in the wood
Down by the River Saila
