Fe 'r Lucy,

G
sit s in her father's door
And by there come her brother dear
What ails thee, Lucy, one?
D#
Em
And I'll tell you the reason why.
For there is a child between
my two sides,
Am
Em
That's from you, dear brother, and I.
An' he has cut it up o'
Em
D
Em
An' her fair body in three.
And out and then cometh
And he has a way to his mother's house
What ails the Geordie one?
Oh, what's that blood
O, that is the blood of my greyhound,
He would not run for me.
Butcher a greyhound's blood,
it was ne 'er so red,
My son, come tell to me
G
Em
Oh, that is the blood of my grey mare
Am
Em
She would not ride with me
But your grey mare's blood,
it was not so clear
My son, come tell to me
Oh, that's not the blood of my grey man
But is the blood of my sister, Lucy
Oh, what will you do
I will set foot in the bottomless boat
And I will sail the sea
And when will you come back again
My son, come tell to me
Em
Em
dance on yon der hill
Em
Am
Em
And that may never be.
