    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]

     C
It's of a jolly sailor
       Bb     F         C
That's lately come from sea
   C
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
    Bb        F     C
His true love to go see
   C
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
     Bb     F        C
Just like a sailor's trade
       F
For to try the heart of Mary-Ann
    Bb    F       C
The cruel lowland maid


[Verse 2]

   C
As Jimmy went a-walking
  Bb     F     C
A-by the Riley strand
     C
Down by his lover's cottage
         Bb        F    C
Where he spied his Mary-Ann
    C
She appeared to him like floral
    Bb     F        C
All in the silks arrayed
        F
But the thorn was in the bosom of
    Bb    F       C
The cruel lowland maid


[Verse 3]
      C
"Good morning pretty Mary,
    Bb      F        C
I'm glad to meet you here
      C
But I feared your inclinations they're
   Bb     F       C
No longer firm me dear
     C
I'm afeared your inclinations
          Bb          F     C
They have turned some other way" -
      F
"Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann
    Bb    F       C
The cruel lowland maid


[Verse 4]
   C
As Jimmy turned to leave her
    Bb     F       C
The sailor said "Behold"
    C
And from his trousers pockets
          Bb    F        C
He pulled out a purse of gold
    C
"Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann
     Bb       F      C
"For all that I have said,
        F
You are welcome to my cottage with
     Bb     F       C
Your lovely lowland maid"


[Verse 5]
   Dm           F
"Remember cruel damsel
    Bb                  C
The last words that you said
   C
Oh I can lie 'til morning in
     Bb      F       C
Some farmers barn or shed
    C
Now I can lie 'til morning in
     Bb      F       C
Some farmers barn or shed"
     F
And away he strayed from Mary--Ann
    Bb    F       C
The cruel lowland maid

[Verse 6]
          C
Straight away to another lover
     Bb       F       C
This fair one she did go
      C
"Have courage now dear Edmund
         Bb F        C
For with me you must go.
     C
Have courage now dear Edmund
       Bb F    C
And do no me betray.
        F
We will kill and rob the sailor boy
  Bb       F        C
Before the break of day"


[Verse 7]
     C
Over hills and lofty mountains
        Bb        F      C
Through dales and swampy lands
     C
They travelled with their lanterns
          Bb      F        C
And their daggers in their hands
               C
And with their lights and lanterens
   Bb         F        C
To light them on their way
          F
'Til they reached the fateful stable where
    Bb     F      C
The sailor boy he lay



[Verse 8]
  Dm            F
Into his tender bosom
     Bb          F      Cm
They plunged the dagger deep
     C
They robbed him of his glittering gold
    Bb       F        C
And left him there to sleep
     C
Some shepherds herding off their flocks
 Bb        F          C
Across the fields did stray
         F
And they swore against the villain and
    Bb    F       C
The cruel lowland maid


[Verse 9]
   C
Oh now the couple is taken
    Bb        F     C
And sentenced to be hung
        C
For the murdering of young Jimmy
        Bb       F      C
Who was scarcely in his bloom
    C
And as they swung high in the air
    Bb     F       C
The people all did say
         F
"For the murdering of the sailor hangs
    Bb    F       C
The cruel lowland maid."
