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