[Verse 1]
The [F#m]rain runs d[C]oon t[F]hrough
[A]Maryland [F#m]toon,
Say, [A]does it doon the [F#m]paw?
[Gm]Say, does [F#m]the la[A]ds o' Maryland toon[F#m]
When [A]they [F#m]play at the [Dm]bar?
[Gm]Then oot and come the dews dawther says,
Will you come [D]in and dine?
[E#]Aye, [A]when I come in,
I can[D]na come in
[E#]Withoot [A]my playfair's
[F#m]nine.[Gm][E#]
[F#m]She powed [A]an apple, [E#]red and [F#m]white,
[A]To entice the young thing in[F#m].
[Gm]She [F#m]powed [A]an aple white and [E#]reed,
[A]And that the sweet bairn [D]did win.
[F]And she has[Gm] ta 'en out a lit[G]tle pen -kn[Gm]ife,
[Dm]An d low d[Gm]oon by her g[Dm]ear,
[Gm]She's [F#m]twinned the [F]young thing,
O his life,
[A]And would he never spark m[Gm]ere.
And oot, and cam the [Ab]thick, [Gm]thick blood,
And [A]oot, and cam the [D]thin.
[Gm]And oot, and c[F#m]am the b[A]onny
[F#m]haird's blood,
[E#]There was [F#m]nae life left in.[Gm]
She [E#]laid him [Gm]on a dressing -board,
And dressed him like a [D]swine,
[A]And [F#m]laughed [Bm]and [E#]said,
[Gm]Go now [Eb]and p[Gm]lay
[A]With your sweet playfair's [F#m]dine.
[Gm]She [F#m]rowed [A]him in a sheet o[Gm]f lead,
[A]Bade him lie sti[F#m]ll and sle[D]ep.
[Gm]She [F#m]cast h[E#]im in a de[A]ep draw -w[G]ell,
[A]Was fifty fathom [Gm]deep.
[F]When [Gm]bells were [G]rung and
mass was [Gm]sung,
[F]Went [Bm]every [G]lady [D]home.
[F]Then [A]Elka Lady had [Bm]her young [Gm]son,
But Lady [A]Helen [F#m]had na[Gm]en.
She [E#]rowed her [G#]mantle, [Gm]her aboot,
[A]And Sir began to weep,[Gm]
And [F#m]she ran [Gm]into the Jew's castle
When [A]they were all [Dm]asleep.
[Gm]My b[F]onnie Si[Gm]r Hugh, my pretty Sir Hugh,
I pray thee [D]to me [Gm]speak.
O Lady [F]Run to the [Gm]deep draw -well,
Gin ye [Bb]your son [Gm]would seek.
Lady Helen ran to the deep draw -well,
[Bb]And knelt down on her [Gm]knee.
My bonnie Sir Hugh, [A]and ye be here,
I pray thee [A]speak to me.
The [Gm]lead is wonders heavy,
mother, the well is wonders deep.
A keen penknife sticks in my heart,
a word I donna [Gm]speak.
