F#m A
Lady margaret, lady margaret
E F#m
Was sowing at the seam
A E B
She's all dressed in black
A F#m C#m
And a thought came in her head to roam in the woods
B F#m A
To pull flowers to flower her hat, my boys
C#m B C#m
To pull flowers to flower her hat
F#m A E F#m
So she hoisted up her petticoats a bit above the knee
A E B
And so nimbly she ran over the ground
A F#m C#m
And when she came to the merrygreen woods
B F#m A C#m
She pulled those branches down, my boys
B C#m
She pulled those branches down
F#m A E F#m
Suddenly she spied a fine young man
A E B
He's standing by a tree
A F#m C#m
He says how dare you pull those branches down?
B F#m A C#m
Without the leave of me, my dear
B C#m
Without the leave of me
F#m A E F#m
Well she says this little wood it is my very own
A E B
My father gave it to me
A F#m C#m B F#m A C#m
I can pull these branches down without the leave of thee, young man
B C#m
Oh without the leave of thee
F#m A E F#m
And he took her by the milk-white hand
A E B
And by the grass-green sleeve
A F#m C#m
He pulled her down at the foot of the bush
B F#m A C#m
He never once asked her leave, my boys
B C#m
Oh he never once asked her leave
F#m A E F#m
And when it was done she twisted about
A E A B
To ask her true love's name
A F#m
But she nothing saw
C#m
She nothing heard
B F#m A C#m
And all the woods grew dim
B C#m
And all the woods grew dim
A B A B C#m
F#m A E F#m
There's four and twenty ladies all in the land
A E B
And they're all playing a chess
A C#m
Except it was the lady margaret
B F#m A C#m
And she's green as any glass, my boys
B C#m
Oh she's green as any glass
B F#m A E F#m
And these four-and-twenty ladies all in the land
A E B
Grow as red any rose
A B F#m C#m B F#m A
Except the lady margaret she's pale and wan, my boys
C#m B C#m
Oh pale and wan she goes
F#m A E F#m
Up then spoke the little serving girl
A E B
She lifted her hand and smiled
A B F#m C#m
She said i think my lady's loved too long
B F#m A C#m
And now she goes with child, my dears
B C#m
Oh and now she goes with child
F#m A E F#m
Up then spoke the second serving girl
A E B
Oh ever and alas says she
A B F#m C#m
But i think i know a herb in the merry green wood
B F#m A C#m
That'll twine thy baby from thee
B C#m
It'll rip off thy babe from thee
F#m A E F#m
So lady margaret she got herself a comb
A E B
She made haste to comb her hair
A F#m C#m
And then she's away to the merry green woods
B F#m A C#m
As fast as she can tear, my boys
B C#m
As fast as she can tear
F#m A E F#m
And she hadn't pulled in the merry green woods
A E B
B herb that barely won
A F#m C#m
When by her stands the young tamlin
B F#m A C#m
He says margaret leave it alone
B C#m
Oh margaret leave it alone
F#m A E F#m
Why do you pull that bitter little herb
A E B
That herb that grows so grey
A F#m C#m B F#m A C#m
For to destroy that fine young baby that we got in our play, my dear
B C#m
Oh that we got in our play
F#m A E F#m
Well come tell me now young tamling says she
A E B
If an earthly man you be
A F#m C#m
I tell you no lies, says young tamlin
B F#m A C#m
I was christened as good as thee
B C#m
I was christened as good as thee
F#m A E F#m
But as i rode a-hunting on a bitter bitter night
A E B
It was from my horse i fell
A F#m C#m
And the queen of elvin she caught me
B F#m A C#m
Into yonder green hill to dwell
B C#m
Oh into yonder green hill to dwell
F#m A E F#m
But tonight is halloween lady
A E B
The elvin caught will ride
A F#m C#m
And if you would your true love win
B F#m A C#m
By the millbridge you must hide, my dears
B C#m
By the millbridge you must hide
F#m A
And first will run the black horse
E A
Then will the brown
A E B
And then will run the white
A F#m C#m
You hold him fast, you fear him not
B F#m A C#m
For he's the father of your child, my love
B C#m
He's the father of your child
F#m A E F#m
They'll turn me on in your arms lady
A E B
Into many a beasts so wild
A F#m C#m
But you hold them fast, you fear no ill
B F#m A C#m
It's the father of your child, my love
B C#m
It's the father of your child
A F#m C#m x2
F#m A E F#m
So lady margaret, she gets herself a comb
A E B
She made haste to comb her hair
A F#m C#m
Then she's away to the old millbrdige
B F#m A C#m
As fast as she could tear, my boys
B C#m
As fast as she could tear
F#m A E F#m A E B
And about the dead hour of the night she heard the bridles ring
A F#m C#m B F#m A C#m
Oh my boys, she had her heart more than any earthly thing it did
B C#m
More than any earthly thing
F#m A E
And first run the black horse
F#m
Then the brown
A E B
And then raced by the white
A F#m C#m
Well she held it fast, she feared it not
B F#m A C#m
For it's the father of her child
B C#m
It's the father of her child
F#m A E F#m A
The thunderoll across the sky
E B A
The stars blazed bright as day
F#m C#m B
The queen of elvin gave a thrilling cry
F#m A C#m
Tamlin's away brave boys
B C#m
Brave tamlin's away
F#m A E F#m
The very first thing they turned him into
A E B A
Is a lion that runs so wild
F#m C#m
But she held him fast, she feared him not
B F#m A C#m
He's the father of her child, my boys
B C#m
He's the father of her child
F#m A E F#m
And the very next thing they turned him into
A E B
It was a loathsome snake
A F#m C#m
He says hold me fast, fear me not
B F#m A C#m
For i'm one of god's own make, my love
B C#m
Oh i'm one of god's own make
F#m A E F#m A
And again they changed him all in her arms
E B
To a red-hot bar of iron
A F#m C#m
But she held it fast, she feared it not
B F#m A C#m
It did to her no harm
B C#m
It did to her no harm
F#m A E F#m
And the very last thing they changed him into
A E B
Was like any naked man
A F#m C#m
She flung her mantle over him
B F#m A C#m
She cried my love i've won i've won
B C#m
She cried my love i've won
F#m A E F#m A
But the queen of elvin she called for a bush
E B
She's red as any blood
A F#m C#m
I should have torn out your eyes, tamlin
B F#m A C#m
And put in two eyes of wood
B C#m
And put in two eyes of wood
