Malinky

Biography:

Malinky is a Scottish folk band specialising in Scots song.

Formed in autumn 1998, the original members were Karine Polwart from Banknock, Stirlingshire (vocals, guitar, bouzouki), Steve Byrne from Arbroath (vocals, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin), Mark Dunlop from Garryduff, Co. Antrim (bodhrán, whistles, vocals) and English fiddler Kit Patterson.

First meeting to rehearse in early October that year, the band was largely formed to help Polwart fulfil a support slot at Edinburgh Folk Club some ten days later

[Intro]
C F C F C F C F

[Verse]
C G
It's of a jolly ploughboy was ploughing up his land
F C F
With his horses in good order to keep
C G
He whistled and he sang as the plough, she jogged along
F G C G
His intention was to court a pretty maid, pretty maid
F G C F C F
His intention was to court a pretty maid

[Verse]
C G
He ended his song as the plough, she jogged along
F C F
Saying, "This fair maid's far above my degree
C G
If her parents, they would know, they would prove my overthrow
F G C G
And the first place they would send me is the sea, is the sea
F G C F C F
And the first place they would send me is the sea"

[Verse]
C G
When her ol' father knew she was courted on the plain
F C F
He vowed he would send him o'er the sea
C G
A press gang then arose and they set my love on board
F G Am G
And they sent him to the war to be slain, to be slain
F G C
And they sent him to the war to be slain

[Instrumental]
C F C F C F C F

[Verse]
C G
She's dressed herself in a suit of men's clothes
F C F
Her pockets well-lined with bright gold
C G
And as she walked down the street with her red-rosy cheeks
F G C G
She looked just like a young sailor bold, sailor bold
F G Am C Am C
She looked just like a young sailor bold

[Verse]
G
The first one that she met was the captain of the ship
F C F
And unto him she told all her woe
C G
Saying, "They took from me my joy and my own ploughboy
F G C G
And they sent him to the war to be slain, to be slain
F G C F C F
And they sent him to the war to be slain"

[Verse]
C G
She's pulled out a purse of the bright, shining gold
F C F
Saying, "Here's fifty bright guineas and more"
C G
And she's freely laid it down for her bonnie ploughboy
F G C G
And she's got the young man she adored, she adored
F G C
And she's got the young man she adored
