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

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