Verse 1
Am 
Oh, about you,
when the winds blow cold
And the round tables begin
Oh, there is calm to our king's court
Many's the well -favoured man
C 
G 
The Queen looked over the castle wall
Am 
E 
Beheld Bogdale and Down
Am 
And there she spied young Waters
Come a -ridin' to the town
His footmen they did run before
And his horsemen rode behind
A mantle of the burning gold
Did keep him from the wind.
C 
G 
Golden harnessed his horse before
Am 
And sil ver shod behind.
E 
Am 
The horse, young waters rode upon,
Was swifter than the wind.
Then up spoke a wily lord,
and unto the queen says he,
Oh, tell me whose is the fairest face,
rides in the company.
C 
Oh, I've seen Londond,
G 
I've seen Laird,
Am 
E 
the knights of high degree,
Am 
But young Waters is the fairest face
That ever mine eyes did see
Then up spoke the jealous king
And an angry man was he
Oh, if he had been twice as fair
G 
Am 
You might have accepted me
C 
G 
You're neither lord nor lord, she says,
Am 
E 
but the king that wears the crown.
Am 
And there's not a knight in all of Scotland
G 
Am 
but to thee must bow down.
But for all that she could do nor say,
a Peasaddy would not be.
And for the words that the queered spoke,
Young Waters, he must die.
C 
G 
And they've taken Young Waters,
Am 
E 
And put fetters on his feet.
Am 
And they've taken Young Waters,
G 
Am 
And thrown him in Dungeon Deep.
Oft have I ridden through Stirling town
In the wind both eyes
But I never rode through Stirling town
With fetters on my feet
C 
G 
Oft have I ridden through Stirling town
Am 
E 
In the wind, water and the rain
Am 
But I never rode through Stirling town,
never to return again.
Oh, they have taken to the Heading Hill
His young son and his cradle.
And they have taken
to the Heading Hill
His horse, but undissettled.
C 
G 
And they've taken to their dinghies,
Am 
E 
Lady Fair to see
Am 
An  d for the words that
the Queen had spoke
Am 
Young Waterseed had died
You
