Where is it that you have been?
Oh, tell me
I've been at my mother’s sister's house
Woe is me
What is it that you did there?
Oh, tell me
I ate and drank there too
Woe is me
What was it that you ate there?
Tell me that
They served up a broth with pepper there
Woe is me
What was it that you did drink?
Oh, tell me
A glass filled with wine so red
Woe is me
What were the dogs and cats fed there?
Oh, tell me
The were fed the broth with pepper
Woe is me
What is it that happened next?
Tell me that
Within the hour they dropped dead
Woe is me
What do you wish for you father dear?
Oh, tell me
I wish him a chair in heaven
Woe is me
What do you wish for you mother dear?
Oh, tell me
I wish her a chair in hell
Woe is me
Woe is me
