Verse 1
Fe 'r Lucy,
Em 
G 
sit s in her father's door
Em 
Weepin' and makin' moan
And by there come her brother dear
What ails thee, Lucy, one?
D 
Oh, why I'll and I'll,
Em 
dear brother, she cries,
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.
G 
An he's drawn out his good broad sword,
Em 
That hung low down by his knee,
An' he has cut it up o'
G 
Lucy One's head,
Em 
D 
Em 
An' her fair body in three.
And out and then cometh
G 
the cart's blood,
Em 
And out and then cometh the thin,
And he has a way to his mother's house
What ails the Geordie one?
Oh, what's that blood
G 
on the point of your sword?
Em 
My  son, come tell to me.
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
G 
when your father comes to know
Em 
Some come tell him to me
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 
When the sun and the moon
Em 
Em 
dance on yon der hill
Em 
Am 
Em 
And that may never be.
