BONNIE BAIRNS
KATE RUSBY
DADGAD tuning
D= 000200
C= 032030
G= 550000

D C
A lady walked in yon wild wood,
G D
Beneath the holly tree,

D C
It was there she saw two bonnie bairns,
G D
There running at her knee.

D C
And the first she pulled a red, red rose,
G D
With hands as soft as silk,

D C
And the next she pulled a lily pale,
G D
With hands more white than milk.

D C
“Why do you pull the red, red rose,
G D
And why the lily white?”

D C
“We need them at the seat of grace,
G D
For the soul of thee tonight.”

D C
“Oh bide with me you bonnie bairns,
G D
I’ll dress you rich and fine,

D C
And for all the blackbirds in the woods,
G D
You’ll eat white bread and wine."

D C
The stars were shooting to and fro,
G D
But the thorns she did abhor,

D C
As the lady followed the bonnie bairns,
G D
For three long hours and more.

D C
“Where do you dwell you bonnie bairns,
G D
I’m woe and weary grown”,

D C
“We live where woe it never comes,
G D
In a land to flesh unknown.”


D C
They came unto a tree of beech,
G D
Two names carved in the bark,

D C
“Do you see your name carved here lady,
G D
The other lies in the dark.”

D C
And she wept in vain and she wept full sore,
G D
For her love laid in the ground,

D C
And she wept until the stars gave way,
G D
’Til the dawn it brought no sound.
