So he flirted with me

Courted m for a long time

Before my mother gave in

My father let me leave

I put my trust in men

I waited for grooms

Oh, grooms

I waited for grooms

I wanted to go to a man

To go on a wooing journey

Oh, a journey

To go on a wooing journey

The girl was taken away

The daughter went to strange lands

They made me a wench

A slave with no rights

I did what the men wanted

I knew their desires

Oh, I knew

I knew their desires

Every day I did my best

At night I was an orphan

Oh, at night

At night I was an orphan

Stupid girls, don't you do

What I did, stupid me

Damn me, I left

To be a wife in strange lands

Damn me, I left

What I did, stupid me

What I did, stupid me

Damn me, I left

Oh, what I did

Damn me, I left

Oh, what I did

Damn me, I left
