WELLA, WELLA


There was an old woman and she lived in the wood
Wella, wella waillia
There was an old woman and she lived in the wood
Down by the river Sallia

She had a baby three month old...

She had a pen-knife three foor long...

She stuck the knife in the baby's head...

Three big knocks came a-knocking at the door
Two policemen and a man

"Are you the woman what killed the child?..."

"I am the woman what killd the child..."

The rope got chucked and she got hung...

The moral of this story is,
Don't stick knives in babies' heads.
