[Verse 1]
"AmGood, my lord, will you Dmstay then aAmbout my fEmather's house
And wAmalking to these gDmardens Dgreen in my Amarms I'll Dthee embraAmce
Ten thCousand times I'll kDiss your Ammouth, make sport and Dlet's be mGerry"
"I thAmank you lady, for yDmour kindnDess. Trust Amme, I may Dnot stay with Amthee
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 2]
For AmI have killed the Dmlaird Johnston, I Amcare not Emfor the feud
My Amloyal heart did Dmstill incDline, he Amwas my fDather's deAmath.
By Cday and night I Ddid purAmsue and all on him revGenged to be
Now AmI have gotten what DmI long Dsought, trust Amme, I may Dnot stay with Amthee
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 3]
AmAdieu Dumfries, my pDmroper Dplace, adAmieu, adieu CaerEmlaverock fair
AdAmieu my castle Dmof the DThreem and Amall my buildDings Amthere
AdCieu Lochmaben's gDates so Amfair and the LDegumshank where the Gbirch
pops bonny
AAmdieu my lady and my Dmonly Djoy, trust Amme, I may Dnot stay with Amthee"
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 4]
Now Amhe has taken a Dmgood gold Dring whereAmat hang Emsignets three
Says "AmTake you this, my Dmown dear Dlove and Amay have Dmind of Amme
But Cif you wed anDother Amlord while I am Gon the sea
His lAmife is but a Dmthree day's Dlease, though AmI may Dnot stay with Amthee"
Am Dm Am Em Am
[Verse 5]
The Amwind was fair, the Dmship was cDlear, the Amgood Lord Emwent away
The Ammost part of his Dmfriends were Dthere to Amgive him Dfair convAmoy
They aCte the meat they Ddrank the Amwine presenting in that gGood Lord's sight
Now Amhe is over the Dmfloods so Dgrey, Lord AmMaxwell's taken his Elast goodAmnight.
