The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, weile weile waile

There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, down by the river Saile

She had a baby three months old, weile weile waile

She had a baby three months old, down by the river Saile

She had a pen knife long and sharp, weile weile waile

She had a pen knife long and sharp, down by the river Saile

She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, weile weile waile

She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, down by the river Saile

There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the door, weile weile waile

There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the door, down by the river Saile

There were two policemen and a special-branchman, weile weile waile

There were two policemen and a special-branchman, down by the river Saile

They put a rope around her neck, weile weile waile

They put a rope around her neck, down by the river Saile

They pulled the rope and she got hang, weile weile waile

They pulled the rope and she got hang, down by the river Saile

And that was the end of the woman in the woods, weile weile waile

And that was the end of the baby too, down by the river Saile
