Intro
Dm
C Dm
Bonnie Brown lay down the jack of diamonds
F Dm
Young Cody took the king of clubs in trade
C Dm
The queen of hearts was dealt to Simple Simon
F Dm
But Cat-eye Willie drew the ace of spades
C Dm
Oh, Bonnie make the bed that you were born in
F Dm
Turn your daddy's picture to the wall
C Dm
For you'll not marry Cody, come the morning
F Dm
Tonight ol' Shuffling Willie comes to call
CHORUS:
N.F. C C Gm Dm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
F C Dm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
F C
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Gm Dm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
F C Dm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
C Dm
As the hour of midnight was approaching
F Dm
She heard his goblin boot-heels on the floor
C Dm
The tattered rags like raven wings in motion
F Dm
The hammer hand upon the bedroom door
C Dm
"Have mercy on this high-born lily maiden
F Dm
The fairest of the valley so they say"
C Dm
"'Twas you who mocked my bent back, heavy laden
F Dm
No mercy had you in your heart that day"
CHORUS:
N.F. C C Gm Dm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
F C Dm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
F C
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Gm Dm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
F C Dm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
INSTRUMENTAL: (Fiddle Break)
C Dm
Now he has had away her coat of leather
F Dm
And he has had away her daisy dress
C Dm
But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers
F Dm
She breaks a silver dagger in his chest
BRIDGE:
Gm Dm C Dm
"Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood
C A# A7
For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood"
Gm Dm C Dm
"No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me"
F C A
"Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"
CHORUS:
N.F. C C Gm Dm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
F C Dm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
F C
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Gm Dm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
F C Dm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
C Dm
Now twenty years her suitors have been idle
F Dm
And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown
C Dm
And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle
F Dm
And taken to the cullion road alone
C Dm
"Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely
F Dm
Mark it with the traitor diamond knave
C Dm
For I have served one master, true and only
F Dm
And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
CHORUS:
N.F. C C Gm Dm
Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb
F C Dm
You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover
F C
But you're bound for the butcher's bride
Gm Dm
The slew-foot devil won't be denied
F C Dm
When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
