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

The slew-foot devil won't be denied
A# F Gm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
INSTRUMENTAL: (Fiddle Break)
F Gm
Now he has had away her coat of leather
A# Gm
And he has had away her daisy dress
F Gm
But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers
A# Gm
She breaks a silver dagger in his chest
BRIDGE:
Cm Gm F Gm
"Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood
F D# D7
For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood"
Cm Gm F Gm
"No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me"
A# F D
"Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"
CHORUS:
N.A#. C F Cm Gm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb

A# F
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Cm Gm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
A# F Gm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
F Gm
Now twenty years her suitors have been idle
A# Gm
And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown
F Gm
And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle
A# Gm
And taken to the cullion road alone
F Gm
"Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely
A# Gm
Mark it with the traitor diamond knave
F Gm
For I have served one master, true and only
A# Gm
And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
