What ails you my daughter dear
G
your eyes are so dim
G
have you had any sore sickness
G
or yet been sleeping with a man
G
I have not had any sore sickness
G
but I know what's ailing me
G C
I thinking of my own true love
G C
he plows the raging sea
G C
he plows the raging sea
G Am C D
be he a lord or a duke or a knight
G D G
or a man of wealth of fame
G C
or is he one of my sailor lads
G C
come tell me now his name
G Am C D
he is no lord or a duke or knight
G D G
or a man of wealth and fame
G C
he is one of your sailor lads
G C
and john barbour is his name
G Am C D
now if John Barbour is his name
G D G
a lowly sailor man is he
G C
and if John Barbor is his name
G C
then hanged he will be
G C
than hanged he will be
G Am C D
the king he calls his sailors all
G D G
by one by two by three
G C
John Barbour was the first he called
G C
but the last came was he
G Am C D
when he came a trippin down
G D G
he was clothed in all in white
G C
his hair were like the roses red
G C
and his teeth were ivory brite
G Am C D
he paid their wages with a smile
G D G
when John Barbour he did see
G C
if i was a woman if I were a man
G C
then bedfellows we would be
G Am C D
will you marry my daughter Jane
G D G
and take her by the hand
G C
will you come and dine with me
G C
take charge of all my land
G Am C D
I will marry your daughter Jane
G D G
and I'll take her by the hand
G C
I will come and dine with you
G C
but to hell with all your lands
G Am C D
if you can give her one gold piece
G D G
then I can give her three
G C
for I am bold John Barbour
G C
and I plow the raging sea
G C
I plow the raging sea
G C
I plow the raging sea
