Intro:
A minorAm  G+G  A minorAm

Verse:
A minorAm        G+G
Cold and raw the North did blow
A minorAm           E minorEm
Bleak in the morning early
A minorAm         G+G
All the trees were hid in snow
A minorAm          E minorEm
Dagl'd by winter yearly
C majorC        G+G
Gentleman riding o'er the heather
A minorAm            E minorEm
Met with a farmer's daughter
  C majorC          G+G
Her rosy cheeks and her bonny brow
   A minorAm         A augmentedA
They made his mouth to water

Verse:
A minorAm      G+G
Quickly he saluted me
A minorAm            E minorEm
Meaning to shew his breeding
 A minorAm         G+G
I bowed to him right gracefully
  A minorAm       E minorEm
His courtesy exceeding
  C majorC        G+G
He asked me where I went so soon
  A minorAm          E minorEm
And longed to begin a parley
 C majorC           G+G
I told him, to the next market town
 A minorAm          A augmentedA
A-purpose to sell me barley

Verse:
 A minorAm          G+G
"In this purse, sweet girl," says he
 A minorAm          E minorEm
"Twenty pounds lie fairly
A minorAm       G+G
Seek no further one to buy
  A minorAm          E minorEm
For I'll take all your barley
C majorC         G+G
Twenty more would buy delight
   A minorAm         E minorEm
Your body I love so dearly
  C majorC         G+G
If you would lay with me all night
    A minorAm           A augmentedA
And go home in the morning early"

A minorAm  G+G  A minorAm  E minorEm
C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  E minorEm
C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  A augmentedA

Verse:
  A minorAm         G+G
"If twenty pounds could buy the globe
   A minorAm         E minorEm
It's this I'd never do, sir
  A minorAm       G+G
Or were me kin as poor as Job
 A minorAm           E minorEm
I would not raise 'em so, sir
C majorC       G+G
If I lay with you this night
   A minorAm          E minorEm
We'd get a young child together
  C majorC           G+G
And you'd be gone ere the nine months end
  A minorAm           A augmentedA
And where should I find a father?"

Verse:
  A minorAm       G+G
He told me he had married been
A minorAm          E minorEm
Fourteen years and longer
  A minorAm        G+G
Or else he'd take me for his own
  A minorAm           E minorEm
And tie the knot much stronger
 C majorC         G+G
I bade him then, no further roam
  A minorAm           E minorEm
But manage his wedlock fairly
  C majorC           G+G
And keep his gold for his wife at home
     A minorAm           A augmentedA
And some other shall have my barley
