When she came to the church stile, There she did rest a little while;
When she came to the church yard,
There the hells so loud she heard.
When she came to the church door,
She stopped to rest a little more;
When she came the church within,
The parson prayed 'gainst pride and sin.
On looking up, on looking down,
She saw a dead man on the ground;
And from his nose unto his chin,
The worms crawled out,
the worms crawled in.
Then she unto the parson said,
Shall I be so when I am dead?
O yes!
O yes, the parson said,
You will be so when you are dead.
