Intro
G#m
F# G#m
Bonnie Brown lay down the jack of diamonds
B G#m
Young Cody took the king of clubs in trade
F# G#m
The queen of hearts was dealt to Simple Simon
B G#m
But Cat-eye Willie drew the ace of spades
F# G#m
Oh, Bonnie make the bed that you were born in
B G#m
Turn your daddy's picture to the wall
F# G#m
For you'll not marry Cody, come the morning
B G#m
Tonight ol' Shuffling Willie comes to call
CHORUS:
N.B. C F# C#m G#m
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
B F# G#m
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
B F#
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
C#m G#m
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
B F# G#m
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
F# G#m
As the hour of midnight was approaching
B G#m
She heard his goblin boot-heels on the floor
F# G#m
The tattered rags like raven wings in motion
B G#m
The hammer hand upon the bedroom door
F# G#m
"Have mercy on this high-born lily maiden
B G#m
The fairest of the valley so they say"
F# G#m
"'Twas you who mocked my bent back, heavy laden
B G#m
No mercy had you in your heart that day"
CHORUS:
N.B. C F# C#m G#m
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
B F# G#m

But you're bound for the butcher's bride
C#m G#m
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
B F# G#m
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
INSTRUMENTAL: (Fiddle Break)
F# G#m
Now he has had away her coat of leather
B G#m
And he has had away her daisy dress
F# G#m
But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers
B G#m
She breaks a silver dagger in his chest
BRIDGE:
C#m G#m F# G#m
"Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood
F# E D#7
For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood"
C#m G#m F# G#m
"No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me"
B F# D#
"Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"
CHORUS:
N.B. C F# C#m G#m
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
B F# G#m
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
B F#
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
C#m G#m
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
B F# G#m
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
F# G#m
Now twenty years her suitors have been idle
B G#m
And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown
F# G#m
And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle
B G#m
And taken to the cullion road alone
F# G#m
"Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely
B G#m
Mark it with the traitor diamond knave
F# G#m
For I have served one master, true and only
B G#m
And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
CHORUS:
N.B. C F# C#m G#m
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb

But you're bound for the butcher's bride
C#m G#m
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
