Verse 1
G
Oh,
G
D
G
me and my love used to play.
I was a lady of high renown
D
G
that lived in the north country.
Oh I was a lady of high renown
C
G
When Jamie Douglas courted me
And when my eldest son was born
C
G
D
G
And laid upon his nurse's knee,
I was the happiest woman born,
C
G
An d Jamie Douglas,
he loved me.
G
D
G
And Jamie Lockhart was his name,
G
D
G
That I did lie in bed with him
me
He put Jamie's shoes beneath my bed
C
G
And he bade my good Lord come and see
G
D
G
and ill death may you die
G
D
That parted my true love and I
C
G
D
G
This great falsehood fought to see
Oh, turned him round, oh, with a scowl
And not one word would he say to me
G
D
I'll court you kindly on my knee.
G
D
When cockleshells turn to silver bells,
C
G
D
G
And the fishes fly from tree to tree,
When frost and snow turn fire to burn,
C
G
It's I'll come up and
dine with thee.
G
D
Until death may you die,
G
D
You were the first and foremost man
C
G
that my lord had forsaken me
He sent fifty of his brisk dragoons
to carry me back to my own country
G
D
G
Nor blowing snows in clemency.
G
D
But my love's heart's grown cold to me.
G
C
You think that I am like yourself,
G
D
G
And lie with each one that I see,
Oh, but I do swear by heaven's high
C
G
I never loved a man but thee
G
D
That love had been so ill to win
G
D
G
I'd have sealed it with a silver pin
Oh, but love grows old and waxes cold
C
G
And fades away like morning dew
