Verse 1
(D major) Said the Lord to his
lady as he went away,
Beware of proud Lampkins
if (A major) (D major) he comes this way. (E flat major)
He (D major) was scarce (E flat major) gone one hour
when (D major) Lamp (E flat major) kins come (D major) in ,
He knocked at the door (E flat major)
(D major) and the nurse let him (E flat major) in.
Oh, (D major) where is (E flat major) the lady, is (D major) she within?
(A major) She's (D major) upstairs sleeping,
said the nursemaid to him. (E flat major) (D major)
How will I get at (E flat major) her ,
to the nurse, said Lampkins?
(D major) We'll stick her little babies
full (E flat major) of needles and pins. (D major)
Proud Lampkins he rocked,
(E flat major) and the (D major) nursemaid she sun (E flat major) g, (B flat major)
(D major) While (E flat major) blood and (D major) tears
from the cradle did run. (E flat major)
(D major) Down came (E flat major) the lady,
(D major) all full of alarm, (E flat major)
(D major) and Lampkins,
he took her (E flat major) right in (D major) his arm (E flat major) s. (D major)
Oh Lampkins, (E flat major) oh Lampkins,
oh spare (D major) me one hour,
I'll give you daughter Betsy,
(A major) (D major) my own bloom (E flat major) ing flower. (D major)
Oh send for your daughter,
and bring (E flat major) her to me,
(D major) and she'll hold the basin
while your heart's blood runs free. (E flat major)
There (D major) was blood in the nurs (E flat major) ery,
blood in the hall,
blood on the staircase,
and (D major) blood overall. (E flat major)
Proud (D major) Lamp (E flat major) kins was taken
(D major) to the gallows (E flat major) to die,
and the nursemaid was burned
in (D major) a fire nearby.
(E flat major) Bye. Bye.
