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