There was an old widow in Westmorland who had no daughter but one
And the widow she has prayed both night and day she would keep her maidenhead long
Don't be daft, mother," she said, "and say no more to me
For there’s a fine young man in the Grenadier Guards my maidenhead's taken from me"
"You saucy cat, you impudent cat, a-cursed may you be
If some idle young rogue in the Grenadier Guards your maidenhead's taken from thee"

So off she’s run to the Grenadier Guards as fast as go can she
Come "Give me back me maidenhead, for my mother she nags at me"
So he kissed her and undressed her and he laid her on the bed
And he put her head where her feet were before and gave back her maidenhead
Then he kissed her and he dressed her put a rose in either hand
And Invited her round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding

So off she’s run to her mammy's again as fast as go can she
"I'm as full a maiden, mother dear, as the day you first bore me
Because he kissed me and undressed me and he laid me on the bed
But he Put me head where my feet were before and he gave back my maidenhead
Then he kissed me and he dressed me, put a rose in either hand and
And Invited me round to St. Mary's church to see his fine wedding

"Oh, never on foot," the widow she said, "in a carriage and pair you'll ride
With four and twenty fine young ladies to go with you beside"

"Ah, who is this?" the bride she said, "She comes so high to me"
"I believe it is that widow's daughter who ran and told her mammy"
Oh how could she do it, how would , how could she it’s a shame?
For Eleven long nights I lay with a man and I never told anyone"
"If eleven long nights you lay with a man, you never shall marry me
I'd rather marry that widow's daughter who ran and told her mammyLyrics posted by RedChucks from Philadelphia Pa U.S.A.
