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