L^Gady Margare^Emt she sits in ^Gher bower sew^Eming Ma-^Cba and the lil^D7ly b^Ga When ^Cshe saw the kn^D7ight with his ho^Grn a-blow^Eming On th^Eme very firs^Gt morning of M^Emay

Oh I^G wish that ^EmI had that hor^Gn I hear blow^Eming Ma-^Cba and the lil^D7ly b^Ga And ^Cthat young kn^D7ight to sle^Gep here on my br^Emeast On t^Emhe very firs^Gt morning of ^EmMay.

Now t^Ghe lady she^Em had these wor^Gds scarce spo^Emke Ma-^Cba and a lil^D7ly b^Ga When ^Cin at her wind^D7ow the knight co^Gme a jump^Eming On t^Emhe very fir^Gst morning of M^Emay

Oh s^Gtrange it ^Emis, oh stra^Gnge young w^Emoman Ma-^Cba and the li^D7lly ^Gba I ca^Cn scarce blow my ^D7horn since I hear yo^Gu a-calli^Emng On the^Em very first m^Gorning of M^Emay

Go fet^Gch you go^Emld from you^Gr father’s ^Emtable Deliv^Cer it un^D7to m^Ge And ^Cthe fastest ho^D7rses in your fa^Gther’s ^Emstable Whe^Emre there sat^G thirty and t^Emhree

So ^Ghe’s moun^Emted him on the^G black black ^Emhorse And ^Cshe’s rode the d^D7appl^Ge grey And ^Cthey rode ti^D7l they came to the br^Goad sea-s^Emhore Just^Em three hours^G before it was^Em day

Lie ^Gdown, lie d^Emown off yo^Gur horse he s^Emays And d^Celiver it up ^D7to m^Ge For ^Cit’s six^D7 pretty maids I ha^Gve drowne^Emd here And^Em the seventh^G one you shall^Em be

Take^G off, take ^Emoff all you^Gr clothes he ^Emsaid And^C deliver them u^D7nto ^Gme ^CFor they a^D7re far too fine and ^Gcostly ro^Embes For^Em to rot in th^Ge salt of the^Em sea

Lie ^Gdown, lie^Em down off you^Gr horse she s^Emaid And t^Curn your back u^D7nto ^Gme ^CFor it’s ^D7not fitting t^Ghat any g^Ementleman ^EmA naked l^Gady should ^Emsee

So h^Ge’s light^Emed him down off^G his horse so^Em high And ^Che’s turned ^D7onto^G she And ^Cshe’s catched^D7 around the mid^Gdle so s^Emmall ^EmAnd she’s tumble^Gd him all down in th^Eme sea

Some^Gtimes he^Em sank, som^Getimes he s^Emwam And i^Ct’s ma-ba and the ^D7lill^Gy ba ^COh help, oh h^D7elp me pret^Gty mistre^Emss ^EmOr drowned^G I shall^Em be

So she^G’s mounte^Emd her on the^G black black ^Emhorse And ^Cshe’s led the d^D7appl^Ge grey And s^Che rode til s^D7he came to her^G father’s ^Emhouse An ^Emhour befor^Ge it was d^Emay
