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