Oh, come down the stairs, pretty

Long ere we came to the town of
Argyllas,
We had our captain to (A major) carry o 'er,
And long (D major) ere we reached the streets of

Green grow the birks on
Gwaneedon's side,
And low lie the lowlands of
(A major) Fifey
O.
The (D major) captain's name was
Ned, and he (G major) died for a mate,
He (D major) died for the (G major) chambermaid of
(D major) Fifey
O. (A major) (D major) (A major) (G major)
You (D major)
