The Dubliners - Weila Weila Lyrics

Lyrics Weila Weila - The Dubliners



And there was an old woman and she lived in the woods
A weila weila waila
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods
Down by the River Saile
She had a baby three months old
A weila weila waila
She had a baby three months old
Down by the River Saile
She had a penknife long and sharp
A weila weila waila
She had a penknife long and sharp
Down by the River Saile
She stuck the penknife in the baby′s heart
A weila weila waila
She stuck the penknife in the baby's heart
Down by the River Saile
Three loud knocks came knocking on the door
A weila weila waila
Three loud knocks came knocking 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
