Weila, Weila
(Traditional)

There was an old woman, she lived in the wood
Weila, weila, wailla
There was an old woman she lived in the wood
Down by the river Seilla

She has a baby she did rock
Weila, weila, wailla
She has a baby she did rock
Down by the river Seilla

She had a pen-knife three foot long
Weila, weila, wailla
She had a pen-knife three foot long
Down by the river Seilla

She stuck that knife in the baby´s head
Weila, weila, wailla
The more she stabbed, the more it bled
Down by the river Seilla

Along came a bobby, knocked at her door
Weila, weila, wailla
Along came a bobby, knocked at her door
Down by the river Seilla

"Are you the woman what killed the child?"
Weila, weila, wailla
"Are you the woman what killed the child?"
Down by the river Seilla

"Yes, I´m the woman what killed the child"
Weila, weila, wailla
"Yes, I´m the woman what killed the child"
Down by the river Seilla

Well, the rope got chucked and she got hung
Weila, weila, wailla
Well, the rope got chucked and she got hung
Down by the river Seilla

The moral of this story is...
Weila, weila, wailla
Don´t stick knives in babies´ heads!
Down by the river Seilla
