Original text and translations

English text

I wish to God my baby was born
and sittin’ smiling on daddy’s knee,
While I, poor girl, was in my grave
and the green grass growin’ over me.

I wish I was in the bottom of the sea,
My soul to God, my body in the sea;
and the dark blue waves rollin’ over me.
