[Verse 1]
Oh, [Em]Willie [G]stands [Em]at h[C]is hot door,
[G]And aye,
he streaked his milk -white steed,
And [C]then, oot o 'er [Em]his white [G]fingers,
His nose begun to [C]bleed.
[F#]Oh, [Em]Mitha[G]r,
give my horse [C]its corn,
[G]And give [C]some meat [G]to my
servant -man,
[C]For I'm [G]a -wotting Maggie's bowers,
I'll in her she -lies do.
[B]Oh, [Em]bide this night at [G]him, [C]Wally,
[G]bide this [C]night [G]at him with me,
and the best in sheep
and all [Em]the fold [F#]at yo[G]ur
supper it shall be.
[C]You [G]can hear your sheep
[Em]and all your flock[C]s,
[G]For them I would niggie a pen,
For I'm [C]a -[G]wotting Maggie's bows,
And this next I'll [C]win in.
[G]Ken ye [Em]should gang[G]
[Em]to Mag[B]gie's bowers,
[G]It sha[C]ll be said aga[G]inst my will,
The [C]deep[G]est hole [Em]in Clyde's waters,
[G]My Mal[C]ly son, you[G] fe[B]ll.[C]
[G]Then he rode up yon[Em] high, hig[G]h hill,[B]
[G]And he rode down yon dow 'y glen,
The rush that was in Cly
[Em]de's [G]wa ters
Would've [C]feared five [B]hundred men.
[C]Oh,[Em] Clyde, you roar out loud this night,
[G]Your waters,
they seem wondrous strong,
You can rock me when I
come back this way,
Can you spare [C]me [G]as [B]I g[G]ong?
Then [Em]he's rode on to Maggie's [C]door,
[G]And he has tarlet at the pen.
Oh, sleep [C]your wakey, [G]Maggie dear,
But rise and let [C]me in.
[G]Oh, [Em]who's that stands at my door[G]?
[F#]Who's [G]that calls me by my name?
It is your in true [Em]love, your [G]Wally,
That's [C]newly come [G]for him[C].
[G]Open the[C] doo[G]r, oh [Em]Magg[G]ie d[C]ear,
[G]open the door and let me in,
for my boot[C]s are [G]full of [Em]plight waters
[G]and I'm [C]shivering to [G]the chin.
My barns are full [Em]of corn[G]walley
[C]an [G]d all my If my ears are full o' hay,
my bowers are full o' gentlemen,
and they'll no come out till day.
[Em]Then fare [G]ye well, my [Em]foes,
Mag[C]gie, [G]fare ye wel[C]l, and[G] along I do.
I got my mother's molly, son,
[F]This [G]next when I came to [C]you.
[G]Then he [B]rode up [G]yon[Em] high, high hil[G]l,
And he rode down yon dowry glen.
The rush that was in [Em]Clyde's [G]wa ters,
Took the whop free Wally's
[C]hand.[G]
The rush [C]that was [Em]in C[G]lyde's wat[B]ers,
[C]Too[G]k his hea[C]rt fre[G]e him by force.
The rush that was in [Em]Clyde's wa[G]ter
Took Wally free his [C]horse.[G]
Now a [C]pure [G]young [C]Wally fell
[G]In to the whole sea wide and deep.
It was then I woke his in true my guilt,
[C]O, her [G]drowsy [C]sleep.[G]
[Eb]Come here, [G]come here, my [C]mother dear,
[G]Come here [C]and redeem m[G]e this dream.
I [C]dreamed my love [G]stood at [Em]Urdur's door,
[G]And no [C]one wou[G]ld let him[C] in.
[G]Lie still, lie still, oh [Em]Maggi[G]e dear,
Maggie, [C]lie still and [G]take your rest,
For your in [B]-true [Em]love was a door -door,
[G]Scarce to [B]a quarter's our[G] past.[B]
[G]Then sad[Em]ly, sad[G]ly rose she[Em] up [G],
[C]No wor[G]d she spoke but
her clay's perdon.
But the higher [C]that [G]the lady cried,
the [B]louder [G]blew the wind.
[G]The first [C]step [Em]that [B]she did take,
she stepped in [G]on to the creek.
The nex[G]t in step, the lady [G]cried,
This water's wondrous [C]deep.
[Em]The next in step,
that she stepped in,
She stepped in unto the chin,
The deepest hole [Em]in Clyde's water
She found sweet Willie in
O ye have had a [B]cruel mother
And a cruel one had I
But we shall cheat them both, Wally,
In Clyde Water we will lie.
