Verse 1
It's (C major) of a young (G major) damsel,
both fair and hand (C major) some,
(D minor) These lines (E minor) are true,
(G major) as I've been told.
On the banks of Shannon,
in a lofty mountain,
Her parents claimed (D minor) great stores of (C major) gold.
Her (D minor) hair was black (G major) as (C major) a raven's feather,
Her (G major) form and features,
dissemble who can
There was a young fellow
who worked on the (C major) station
(G major) She fell in love with that servant (C major) man
As Mary (G major) An ne and her lover were (C major) walking
(G major) Her father heard them and nearer drew
As these two lovers were truly talking
In anger hung her, (D minor) father flew (C major)
(G major) To build a dungeon was his intention
(F major) To part (E minor) true lov (G major) ers (D major) contrive (G major) a plan
He swore an oath and vowed to mention
He would part this fair one
from her servant man.
He built a dungeon of bricks and (C major) mortar,
With a (G major) flight of steps it (D minor) was underground.
(G major) The food he gave her was bread and water (C major) ,
(G major) And only a chair for (F major) her was found.
(C major) Three (G major) (D minor) times a day (G major) he (C major) cruelly beat her,
un (G major) til her father she became,
saying, (C major) if I have (G major) transgressed
my own dear (C major) father,
(G major) I'll lay and die (F major) for my servant (G major) man.
Soon as he found him so
tender -hearted,
Then down he fell on the dungeon floor,
Saying true lovers shall never be parted,
Since love can en (G major) ter an iron (E minor) door.
(C major) So (G major) they were (F major) joined (G major) to be parted never,
To roam in riches (G major) this young couple can.
And now young Mary Anne
rules with pleasure
to live forever with her (G major) servant men.
