Intro
Em
D Em
Bonnie Brown lay down the jack of diamonds
G Em
Young Cody took the king of clubs in trade
D Em
The queen of hearts was dealt to Simple Simon
G Em
But Cat-eye Willie drew the ace of spades
D Em
Oh, Bonnie make the bed that you were born in
G Em
Turn your daddy's picture to the wall
D Em
For you'll not marry Cody, come the morning
G Em
Tonight ol' Shuffling Willie comes to call
CHORUS:
N.G. C D Am Em
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G D Em
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G D
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Am Em
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
G D Em
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
D Em
As the hour of midnight was approaching
G Em
She heard his goblin boot-heels on the floor
D Em
The tattered rags like raven wings in motion
G Em
The hammer hand upon the bedroom door
D Em
"Have mercy on this high-born lily maiden
G Em
The fairest of the valley so they say"
D Em
"'Twas you who mocked my bent back, heavy laden
G Em
No mercy had you in your heart that day"
CHORUS:
N.G. C D Am Em
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G D Em
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G D
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Am Em
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
G D Em
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
INSTRUMENTAL: (Fiddle Break)
D Em
Now he has had away her coat of leather
G Em
And he has had away her daisy dress
D Em
But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers
G Em
She breaks a silver dagger in his chest
BRIDGE:
Am Em D Em
"Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood
D C B7
For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood"
Am Em D Em
"No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me"
G D B
"Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"
CHORUS:
N.G. C D Am Em
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G D Em
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
G D
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Am Em
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
G D Em
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
D Em
Now twenty years her suitors have been idle
G Em
And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown
D Em
And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle
G Em
And taken to the cullion road alone
D Em
"Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely
G Em
Mark it with the traitor diamond knave
D Em
For I have served one master, true and only
G Em
And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
CHORUS:
N.G. C D Am Em
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
G D Em
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover

But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Am Em
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
