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