Lyrics:

The Dubliners -
weile, Weile, Weile Lyrics

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
