All in the silks arrayed

But the thorn was in the bosom of

The cruel lowland maid

"Good morning pretty Mary,
Eb A# F
I'm glad to meet you here

They have turned some other way" -

Some farmers barn or shed

Over hills and lofty mountains
Eb A# F
Through dales and swampy lands

They travelled with their lanterns

And their daggers in their hands

And with their lights and lanterens
Eb A# F
To light them on their way
A#
'Til they reached the fateful stable where
Eb A# F
The sailor boy he lay
[Verse 8]
Gm A#
Into his tender bosom
Eb A# Fm
They plunged the dagger deep
F
They robbed him of his glittering gold
Eb A# F
And left him there to sleep

Some shepherds herding off their flocks
Eb A# F
Across the fields did stray
A#
And they swore against the villain and
Eb A# F
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 9]
F
Oh now the couple is taken
Eb A# F
And sentenced to be hung
F
For the murdering of young Jimmy
Eb A# F
Who was scarcely in his bloom
F
And as they swung high in the air
Eb A# F
The people all did say
A#
"For the murdering of the sailor hangs
Eb A# F
The cruel lowland maid."
