The Grey Cock chords by A. L. Lloyd
Verse 1
Am
I must be going, no longer staying.
The burning Thames I have to cross.
F
Dm
Oh, I must be guided without a stumble
Am
Into the arms of my dear Lash.
And when he came to his
true love's window
He knelt down gently on a stone
F
And it's through a pain,
Dm
he whispered slowly,
Am
My dear girl, are you alone?
She rose her head from her
C
Am
C
down -soft pillow,
Am
And snowy were her milk -like breasts,
F
Saying who's there, who's there
Am
at my bedroom window
Dm
Am
Disturbing me from
E
Am
middle of night's rest
Oh I'm your lover and can't discover
I pray your eyes love and let me in
For I'm fatigued from
Dm
a long night's journey,
Am
C
Am
E
Am
Besides, I'm wet into the skin.
Now this young girl rose and
put on her clothing,
She quickly let her own true love in,
F
O 'er they kissed, shook hands,
Dm
and embraced together
Am
C
Am
Till that long night was near an end
O' Willie dear, O' dearest Willie
Where is that colour you'd some time ago
Oh Mary dear, the clay has changed me,
Dm
Am
I'm but the ghost of your weird Leo.
Then oh cock, oh cock,
oh handsome cockerel,
I pray you not crow until it's day,
F
For your wings I'll make
Am
of the very first -beaten gold,
F
Am
And your comb I'll make
E
Am
of the silver cry.
But the cock it crewed,
and it crewed so fully,
It crewed three hours before it was day,
F
And before it was day,
Am
my love had to go away,
Not be the light of the moon,
nor the light of day.
Then it's Willie dear,
oh dearest Willie,
whenever shall I see you again?
When
And the fish they fly, love,
And the sea runs dry, love,
E
Am
And the rocks they melt In the heat of the sun.
