Fm
D# Fm
Bonnie Brown lay down the jack of diamonds
G# Fm
Young Cody took the king of clubs in trade
D# Fm
The queen of hearts was dealt to Simple Simon
G# Fm
But Cat-eye Willie drew the ace of spades
D# Fm
Oh, Bonnie make the bed that you were born in
G# Fm
Turn your daddy's picture to the wall
D# Fm
For you'll not marry Cody, come the morning
G# Fm
Tonight ol' Shuffling Willie comes to call
CHORUS:
N.G#. C D# A#m Fm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G# D# Fm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G# D#
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
A#m Fm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
G# D# Fm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
D# Fm
As the hour of midnight was approaching
G# Fm
She heard his goblin boot-heels on the floor
D# Fm
The tattered rags like raven wings in motion
G# Fm
The hammer hand upon the bedroom door
D# Fm
"Have mercy on this high-born lily maiden
G# Fm
The fairest of the valley so they say"
D# Fm
"'Twas you who mocked my bent back, heavy laden
G# Fm
No mercy had you in your heart that day"
CHORUS:
N.G#. C D# A#m Fm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G# D# Fm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G# D#
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
A#m Fm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
G# D# Fm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
INSTRUMENTAL: (Fiddle Break)
D# Fm
Now he has had away her coat of leather
G# Fm
And he has had away her daisy dress
D# Fm
But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers
G# Fm
She breaks a silver dagger in his chest
BRIDGE:
A#m Fm D# Fm
"Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood
D# C# C7
For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood"
A#m Fm D# Fm
"No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me"
G# D# C
"Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"
CHORUS:
N.G#. C D# A#m Fm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G# D# Fm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G# D#
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
A#m Fm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
G# D# Fm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
D# Fm
Now twenty years her suitors have been idle
G# Fm
And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown
D# Fm
And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle
G# Fm
And taken to the cullion road alone
D# Fm
"Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely
G# Fm
Mark it with the traitor diamond knave
D# Fm
For I have served one master, true and only
G# Fm
And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
CHORUS:
N.G#. C D# A#m Fm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G# D# Fm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G# D#
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
A#m Fm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
