Verse
C#
It's of a jolly sailor
Cb F# C#
That's lately come from sea
C#
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
Cb F# C#
His true love to go see
C#
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
Cb F# C#
Just like a sailor's trade
F#
For to try the heart of Mary-Ann
Cb F# C#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 2]
C#
As Jimmy went a-walking
Cb F# C#
A-by the Riley strand
C#
Down by his lover's cottage
Cb F# C#
Where he spied his Mary-Ann
C#
She appeared to him like floral
Cb F# C#
All in the silks arrayed
F#
But the thorn was in the bosom of
Cb F# C#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 3]
C#
"Good morning pretty Mary,
Cb F# C#
I'm glad to meet you here
C#
But I feared your inclinations they're
Cb F# C#
No longer firm me dear
C#
I'm afeared your inclinations
Cb F# C#
They have turned some other way" -
F#
"Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann
Cb F# C#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 4]
C#
As Jimmy turned to leave her
Cb F# C#
The sailor said "Behold"
C#
And from his trousers pockets
Cb F# C#
He pulled out a purse of gold
C#
"Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann
Cb F# C#
"For all that I have said,
F#
You are welcome to my cottage with
Cb F# C#
Your lovely lowland maid"
[Verse 5]
D#m F#
"Remember cruel damsel
Cb C#
The last words that you said
C#
Oh I can lie 'til morning in
Cb F# C#
Some farmers barn or shed
C#
Now I can lie 'til morning in
Cb F# C#
Some farmers barn or shed"
F#
And away he strayed from Mary--Ann
Cb F# C#
The cruel lowland maid
[Interlude]
F# Cb F# Cb C#
C# F# Cb F# Cb C#
[Verse 6]
C#
Straight away to another lover
Cb F# C#
This fair one she did go
C#
"Have courage now dear Edmund
Cb F# C#
For with me you must go.
C#
Have courage now dear Edmund
Cb F# C#
And do no me betray.
F#
We will kill and rob the sailor boy
Cb F# C#
Before the break of day"
[Verse 7]
C#
Over hills and lofty mountains
Cb F# C#
Through dales and swampy lands
C#
They travelled with their lanterns
Cb F# C#
And their daggers in their hands
C#
And with their lights and lanterens
Cb F# C#
To light them on their way
F#
'Til they reached the fateful stable where
Cb F# C#
The sailor boy he lay
[Verse 8]
D#m F#
Into his tender bosom
Cb F# C#m
They plunged the dagger deep
C#
They robbed him of his glittering gold
Cb F# C#
And left him there to sleep
C#
Some shepherds herding off their flocks
Cb F# C#
Across the fields did stray
F#
And they swore against the villain and
Cb F# C#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 9]
C#
Oh now the couple is taken
Cb F# C#
And sentenced to be hung
C#
For the murdering of young Jimmy
Cb F# C#
Who was scarcely in his bloom
C#
And as they swung high in the air
Cb F# C#
The people all did say
F#
"For the murdering of the sailor hangs
Cb F# C#
The cruel lowland maid."
