Вступление
[Verse 1]C
It's of a jolly sailor
BbFC
That's lately come from sea
C
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
BbFC
His true love to go see
C
He dressed himself in tarry clothes
BbFC
Just like a sailor's trade
F
For to try the heart of Mary-Ann
BbFC
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 2]C
As Jimmy went a-walking
BbFC
A-by the Riley strand
C
Down by his lover's cottage
BbFC
Where he spied his Mary-Ann
C
She appeared to him like floral
BbFC
All in the silks arrayed
F
But the thorn was in the bosom of
BbFC
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 3]C
"Good morning pretty Mary,
BbFC
I'm glad to meet you here
C
But I feared your inclinations they're
BbFC
No longer firm me dear
C
I'm afeared your inclinations
BbFC
They have turned some other way" -
F
"Oh begone from me" cried Mary-Ann
BbFC
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 4]C
As Jimmy turned to leave her
BbFC
The sailor said "Behold"
C
And from his trousers pockets
BbFC
He pulled out a purse of gold
C
"Forgive me now" cried Mary-Ann
BbFC
"For all that I have said,
F
You are welcome to my cottage with
BbFC
Your lovely lowland maid"
[Verse 5]DmF
"Remember cruel damsel
BbC
The last words that you said
C
Oh I can lie 'til morning in
BbFC
Some farmers barn or shed
C
Now I can lie 'til morning in
BbFC
Some farmers barn or shed"
F
And away he strayed from Mary--Ann
BbFC
The cruel lowland maid
[Interlude]FBbFBbCCFBbFBbC[Verse 6]C
Straight away to another lover
BbFC
This fair one she did go
C
"Have courage now dear Edmund
BbFC
For with me you must go.
C
Have courage now dear Edmund
BbFC
And do no me betray.
F
We will kill and rob the sailor boy
BbFC
Before the break of day"
[Verse 7]C
Over hills and lofty mountains
BbFC
Through dales and swampy lands
C
They travelled with their lanterns
BbFC
And their daggers in their hands
C
And with their lights and lanterens
BbFC
To light them on their way
F
'Til they reached the fateful stable where
BbFC
The sailor boy he lay
[Verse 8]DmF
Into his tender bosom
BbFCm
They plunged the dagger deep
C
They robbed him of his glittering gold
BbFC
And left him there to sleep
C
Some shepherds herding off their flocks
BbFC
Across the fields did stray
F
And they swore against the villain and
BbFC
The cruel lowland maid
[Verse 9]C
Oh now the couple is taken
BbFC
And sentenced to be hung
C
For the murdering of young Jimmy
BbFC
Who was scarcely in his bloom
C
And as they swung high in the air
BbFC
The people all did say
F
"For the murdering of the sailor hangs
BbFC
The cruel lowland maid."
