A small and frail woman,

Walking up my stairs,

Must have never seen the sun,

And the clothes that she wears,

Skin as fresh as daisies,

Eyes as black as death,

I think I know what she sees,

I think her name was Beth,

She owned this house before,

Loved it like her children,

Selling it her heart tore,

But that was well, when,

When she had her debt,

A debt of her life,

And how she had wept,

Being her husbands wife,

She did one last thing,

Before she had to pay,

A treasure to win,

I found it a year to this day.
