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

There were three loud knocks come a'knocking on the door, weile weile waile

There were two policemen and a special-branchman, weile weile waile
There were two policemen and a special-branchman, down by the river Saile
They put a rope around her neck, weile weile waile

They pulled the rope and she got hung, weile weile waile

And that was the end of the woman in the woods, weile weile waile
And that was the end of the baby too, down by the river Saile
