Intro
Bm
A Bm
Bonnie Brown lay down the jack of diamonds
D Bm
Young Cody took the king of clubs in trade
A Bm
The queen of hearts was dealt to Simple Simon
D Bm
But Cat-eye Willie drew the ace of spades
A Bm
Oh, Bonnie make the bed that you were born in
D Bm
Turn your daddy's picture to the wall
A Bm
For you'll not marry Cody, come the morning
D Bm
Tonight ol' Shuffling Willie comes to call
CHORUS:
N.D. C A Em Bm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
D A Bm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
D A
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Em Bm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
D A Bm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
A Bm
As the hour of midnight was approaching
D Bm
She heard his goblin boot-heels on the floor
A Bm
The tattered rags like raven wings in motion
D Bm
The hammer hand upon the bedroom door
A Bm
"Have mercy on this high-born lily maiden
D Bm
The fairest of the valley so they say"
A Bm
"'Twas you who mocked my bent back, heavy laden
D Bm
No mercy had you in your heart that day"
CHORUS:
N.D. C A Em Bm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
D A Bm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
D A
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Em Bm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
D A Bm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
INSTRUMENTAL: (Fiddle Break)
A Bm
Now he has had away her coat of leather
D Bm
And he has had away her daisy dress
A Bm
But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers
D Bm
She breaks a silver dagger in his chest
BRIDGE:
Em Bm A Bm
"Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood
A G F#7
For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood"
Em Bm A Bm
"No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me"
D A F#
"Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"
CHORUS:
N.D. C A Em Bm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
D A Bm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
D A
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Em Bm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
D A Bm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
A Bm
Now twenty years her suitors have been idle
D Bm
And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown
A Bm
And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle
D Bm
And taken to the cullion road alone
A Bm
"Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely
D Bm
Mark it with the traitor diamond knave
A Bm
For I have served one master, true and only
D Bm
And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
CHORUS:
N.D. C A Em Bm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
D A Bm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
D A
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Em Bm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
D A Bm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
