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