[Intro]
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am Em
"Good, my lord, will you stay then about my father's house
Am Dm D Am D Am
And walking to these gardens green in my arms I'll thee embrace
C D Am D G
Ten thousand times I'll kiss your mouth, make sport and let's be merry"
Am Dm D Am D Am
"I thank you lady, for your kindness. Trust me, I may not stay with thee
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am Em
For I have killed the laird Johnston, I care not for the feud
Am Dm D Am D Am
My loyal heart did still incline, he was my father's death.
C D Am G
By day and night I did pursue and all on him revenged to be
Am Dm D Am D Am
Now I have gotten what I long sought, trust me, I may not stay with thee
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 3]
Am Dm D Am Em
Adieu Dumfries, my proper place, adieu, adieu Caerlaverock fair
Am Dm D Am D Am
Adieu my castle of the Threem and all my buildings there
C D Am D G
Adieu Lochmaben's gates so fair and the Legumshank where the birch
pops bonny
Am Dm D Am D Am
Adieu my lady and my only joy, trust me, I may not stay with thee"
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 4]
Am Dm D Am Em
Now he has taken a good gold ring whereat hang signets three
Am Dm D Am D Am
Says "Take you this, my own dear love and ay have mind of me
C D Am G
But if you wed another lord while I am on the sea
Am Dm D Am D Am
His life is but a three day's lease, though I may not stay with thee"
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 5]
Am Dm D Am Em
The wind was fair, the ship was clear, the good Lord went away
Am Dm D Am D Am
The most part of his friends were there to give him fair convoy
C D Am G
They ate the meat they drank the wine presenting in that good Lord's sight
Am Dm D Am E Am
Now he is over the floods so grey, Lord Maxwell's taken his last goodnight.
