Verse
A#
It's of a jolly sailor
Ab D# A#
That's lately come from sea
A#
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
Ab D# A#
His true love to go see
A#
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
Ab D# A#
Just like a sailor's trade
D#
For to try the heart of Mary-Ann
Ab D# A#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 2]
A#
As Jimmy went a-walking
Ab D# A#
A-by the Riley strand
A#
Down by his lover's cottage
Ab D# A#
Where he spied his Mary-Ann
A#
She appeared to him like floral
Ab D# A#
All in the silks arrayed
D#
But the thorn was in the bosom of
Ab D# A#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 3]
A#
"Good morning pretty Mary,
Ab D# A#
I'm glad to meet you here
A#
But I feared your inclinations they're
Ab D# A#
No longer firm me dear
A#
I'm afeared your inclinations
Ab D# A#
They have turned some other way" -
D#
"Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann
Ab D# A#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 4]
A#
As Jimmy turned to leave her
Ab D# A#
The sailor said "Behold"
A#
And from his trousers pockets
Ab D# A#
He pulled out a purse of gold
A#
"Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann
Ab D# A#
"For all that I have said,
D#
You are welcome to my cottage with
Ab D# A#
Your lovely lowland maid"
[Verse 5]
Cm D#
"Remember cruel damsel
Ab A#
The last words that you said
A#
Oh I can lie 'til morning in
Ab D# A#
Some farmers barn or shed
A#
Now I can lie 'til morning in
Ab D# A#
Some farmers barn or shed"
D#
And away he strayed from Mary--Ann
Ab D# A#
The cruel lowland maid
[Interlude]

A# D# Ab D# Ab A#
[Verse 6]
A#
Straight away to another lover
Ab D# A#
This fair one she did go
A#
"Have courage now dear Edmund
Ab D# A#
For with me you must go.
A#
Have courage now dear Edmund
Ab D# A#
And do no me betray.
D#
We will kill and rob the sailor boy
Ab D# A#
Before the break of day"
[Verse 7]
A#
Over hills and lofty mountains
Ab D# A#
Through dales and swampy lands
A#
They travelled with their lanterns
Ab D# A#
And their daggers in their hands
A#
And with their lights and lanterens
Ab D# A#
To light them on their way
D#
'Til they reached the fateful stable where
Ab D# A#
The sailor boy he lay
[Verse 8]
Cm D#
Into his tender bosom
Ab D# A#m
They plunged the dagger deep
A#
They robbed him of his glittering gold
Ab D# A#
And left him there to sleep
A#
Some shepherds herding off their flocks
Ab D# A#
Across the fields did stray
D#
And they swore against the villain and
Ab D# A#
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 9]
A#
Oh now the couple is taken
Ab D# A#
And sentenced to be hung
A#
For the murdering of young Jimmy
Ab D# A#
Who was scarcely in his bloom
A#
And as they swung high in the air
Ab D# A#
The people all did say
D#
"For the murdering of the sailor hangs
Ab D# A#
The cruel lowland maid."
