[Intro]
DmIf you're heading down to Camden Town
GBe sure to raise a toaDmst
ATo the patron saint of the waifs and strays
(let A ring out) Dm
To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Verse 1]
AOnce she was a fresh-faced lass, fDmrom Kentish Town she came
AHer people, they were pedlars, DmJinny Bingham was her name
With her Ghusband Gypsy George a DmCamden coach house they did keep
Till they hung Ehim by his neck from TyburAn Tree for stealing sheep
AIt broke her heart to lose her love wDmhen she was just a child
So a Aman named Derby took the hDmand of Jinny meek and mild
He was a dGrinker, not a thinker, daDmily brought his wife to tears
E (riff 1)
Until one Camden winter morning, Derby simply disappeared
[Chorus]
DmIf you're heading down to Camden Town
GBe sure to raise a toasDmt
ATo the patron saint of the waifs and strays
To Jinny Bingham's ghost Dm
[Verse 2]
AShe earned her reputation on those bitter CDmamden streets
AIf you'd tarry with the Bingham girl, Dmyou'd hold your manhood cheap
But even so tGhe miser Pitcher was the tDmhird man on her lips
Till one Enight they checked her oven, found him Aburned up to a crisp
AThey tried her for his murder, thought tDmhey'd finally cooked her goose
ABut even when the next man died, JinnyDm somehow slipped the noose
He was a Gfugitive from justice, for love Dmshe took him in
E (riff 1)
But he beat her once to often and the poison did him in
[Chorus]
DmIf you're heading down to Camden Town
GBe sure to raise a toastDm
ATo the patron saint of the waifs and strays
To Jinny Bingham's ghosDmt
[Bridge]
(all chords palm muted)
TheF locals didn't like her, false words followed her around
They Emcalled her wicked woman, sorceress of some reknown
They sGwore that on the gravestones of her husbands she'd grown rich
The ribEald and the righteous, theAy knew she was a witch
BuFt the reason she was hated was a simple one indeed
She Emhad kindness for the careless, she took in those in need
The gGuilty and the gamblers, the harlots and the whores
All kEnew that Jinny offered sanctuaryA at her bar
No Bbjudgement for the judged, aCnd you can never fall too far
[Interlude]
(riff 2)
[Verse 4]
AOn the day she died, they swore they saw the Dmdevil by her side
AA mob broke down her door and from her Dmchair her body pried
TGhe tavern is still standing, iDmt's now called the Underworld
E ( riff 3 )
And it still offers sanctuary for all broken boys and girls
[Chorus]
DmSo let's head on down to Camden Town
GAnd folks, let's raise a toaDmst
ATo the patron saint of the waifs and strays
To Jinny Bingham's ghost Dm
