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