Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore

Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home

And when she and her maidens so merry should have been
 G       D       Em        Bm
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
C        G           C
She went into her chambers she cried all alone
G         A          Bm
Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet
C           G             C
For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet

Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
C           G       C
But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie

G        D        Em       Bm
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
C     G              D       G
Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns
G         D        Em       Bm
But she fell down to the floor so close down by his knee
C           G           C
Saying father look I'm dying for me love Anachie

The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
C           G            C
And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide
G        D        Em         Bm
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
C              G              C
Saying oh it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands
G      D       Em       Bm
Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood
C           G           C
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead


G        Am           Bm
You that are her maidens go take me by the hand
C           G             C
And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in
G        D              Em        Bm
And he's kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone
C           G           C
