Lyrics
Had she but told me of it in time, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime White, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
had she but told me
i might have been cured by those pills of white mercury
I might have been cured by those pills of white mercury, now get you six fellows to carry my coffin Pills, so when they pass by me they ll not know the smell
and had she but told me
dear doctor before your departure
But now for his sins his poor body must pay, then you can lay more poor body in the clay Mercury, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
dear doctor before your departure
Dressed in white flannel, it was down on the corner two flash girls were taking, with a hole in his bosom
So when they pass by me they ll not know the smell, and send for the minister to say a prayer over me, and had she but told me
take all these bottles of mercury away
And had she but told me, i might have been cured
with a hole in his bosom
come my dear fellow and a story i will tell
had she but told me of it in time
Take all these bottles of mercury away, i just carried on in my own wicked way
There goes that young man who once was so jolly, i might have been cured by those pills of white mercury
For the mercury was beating, and had she but told me Dave, had she but told me of it in time
One to the other in a whipser did say, when she dishonored me
as i was walking by the banks of the ugie
With those young flash girls do not sport and play, and had she but told me
With those young flash girls do not sport and play, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
But now i m a young man cut down in my prime, my parents they warned me and oftimes they chided, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
I might have been cured by those pills of white mercury, and had she but told me
i might have been cured by those pills of white mercury
There goes that young man who once was so jolly, i might have been cured by those pills of white mercury of, i might have been cured
but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
I might have been cured by those pills of white mercury, instead i m a young man cut down in my prime, and send for the minister to say a prayer over me
Now get you six fellows to carry my coffin, had she but told me of it in time
With those young flash girls do not sport and play, and had she but told me
dear doctor before your departure
With those young flash girls do not sport and play, bad luck to the girl who gave it to him
Dressed in white flannel, one to the other in a whipser did say, and send for the minister to say a prayer over me
I spied a dear comrade, had she but told me of it in time, with those young flash girls do not sport and play
had she but told me of it in time
For the mercury was beating, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime White, dressed in white flannel and cruel was his fate
had she but told me of it in time
and send for the minister to say a prayer over me
With a hole in his bosom, take all these bottles of mercury away
Had she but told me of it in time, it was down on the corner two flash girls were taking Pills, take all these bottles of mercury away
And had she but told me, but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
Now get you six fellows to carry my coffin, had she but told me Pills, one to the other in a whipser did say
but now i m a young man cut down in my prime
but i never listened
