Verse
E
It's of a jolly sailor
D A E
That's lately come from sea
E
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
D A E
His true love to go see
E
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
D A E
Just like a sailor's trade
A
For to try the heart of Mary-Ann
D A E
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 2]
E
As Jimmy went a-walking
D A E
A-by the Riley strand
E
Down by his lover's cottage
D A E
Where he spied his Mary-Ann
E
She appeared to him like floral
D A E
All in the silks arrayed
A
But the thorn was in the bosom of
D A E
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 3]
E
"Good morning pretty Mary,
D A E
I'm glad to meet you here
E
But I feared your inclinations they're
D A E
No longer firm me dear
E
I'm afeared your inclinations
D A E
They have turned some other way" -
A
"Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann
D A E
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 4]
E
As Jimmy turned to leave her
D A E
The sailor said "Behold"

And from his trousers pockets
D A E
He pulled out a purse of gold

"Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann
D A E
"For all that I have said,
A
You are welcome to my cottage with
D A E
Your lovely lowland maid"
[Verse 5]
F#m A
"Remember cruel damsel
D E
The last words that you said
E
Oh I can lie 'til morning in
D A E
Some farmers barn or shed

Now I can lie 'til morning in
D A E
Some farmers barn or shed"

And away he strayed from Mary--Ann

The cruel lowland maid

Straight away to another lover
D A E
This fair one she did go

"Have courage now dear Edmund

For with me you must go.

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