Verse 5
Em 
C 
The wind was fair, the ship was clear,
Em 
C 
the good Lord went away
Em

The most part of his friends were there

to give him fair convoy
C 
They ate the meat,

they drank the wine,
C

presenting in that good Lord's sight
Em 
C 
Now he  is over the floods  so grey,
Em 
C 
Lord Maxwell's taken his last good
Em 
night
