Lyrics
When I was seven year old My dear mother did die My father married the worst woman The world did ever see She turned me to a loathsome worm To lie at the foot of the tree My sister Maisery she made The mackerel of the sea This father stood on the shore And hearing sore complaint And wondered at the laily moan And questioned what it meant Sing on your song you laily worm That you now sing to me For my two children havе been gone This many year from me Evеry Saturday at noon The mackerel comes to me Changed back to my sister The Lady Maisery And she takes my laily head And lays it on her knee And combs it with a silver comb To wash it in the sea
