Intro
Em
If you're heading down to Camden Town
A Em
Be sure to raise a toast
B
To the patron saint of the waifs and strays
(let B ring out) Em
To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Verse 1]
B Em
Once she was a fresh-faced lass, from Kentish Town she came
B Em
Her people, they were pedlars, Jinny Bingham was her name
A Em
With her husband Gypsy George a Camden coach house they did keep
F# B
Till they hung him by his neck from Tyburn Tree for stealing sheep
B Em
It broke her heart to lose her love when she was just a child
B Em
So a man named Derby took the hand of Jinny meek and mild
A Em
He was a drinker, not a thinker, daily brought his wife to tears
F# (riff 1)
Until one Camden winter morning, Derby simply disappeared
[Chorus]
Em
If you're heading down to Camden Town
A Em
Be sure to raise a toast
B
To the patron saint of the waifs and strays
Em
To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Verse 2]
B Em
She earned her reputation on those bitter Camden streets
B Em
If you'd tarry with the Bingham girl, you'd hold your manhood cheap
A Em
But even so the miser Pitcher was the third man on her lips
F# B
Till one night they checked her oven, found him burned up to a crisp
B Em
They tried her for his murder, thought they'd finally cooked her goose
B Em
But even when the next man died, Jinny somehow slipped the noose
A Em
He was a fugitive from justice, for love she took him in
F# (riff 1)
But he beat her once to often and the poison did him in
[Chorus]
Em
If you're heading down to Camden Town
A Em
Be sure to raise a toast
B
To the patron saint of the waifs and strays
Em
To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Bridge]
(all chords palm muted)
G
The locals didn't like her, false words followed her around
F#m
They called her wicked woman, sorceress of some reknown
A
They swore that on the gravestones of her husbands she'd grown rich
F# B
The ribald and the righteous, they knew she was a witch
G
But the reason she was hated was a simple one indeed
F#m
She had kindness for the careless, she took in those in need
A
The guilty and the gamblers, the harlots and the whores
F# B
All knew that Jinny offered sanctuary at her bar
C D
No judgement for the judged, and you can never fall too far
[Interlude]
(riff 2)
[Verse 4]
B Em
On the day she died, they swore they saw the devil by her side
B Em
B mob broke down her door and from her chair her body pried
A Em
The tavern is still standing, it's now called the Underworld
F# ( riff 3 )
And it still offers sanctuary for all broken boys and girls
[Chorus]
Em
So let's head on down to Camden Town
A Em
And folks, let's raise a toast
B
To the patron saint of the waifs and strays
Em
To Jinny Bingham's ghost
