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