[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]There was a Lord who
lived in this place
He, being a lord of high renown,
He left his foot down on a shipboard
And swore strange countries he'd go find
For he travelled east and travelled west
Until he arrived into Turkey land,
where [D]he was [Am]taken and bound in prison,
until his life, it was almost gone.
Oh, [Dm]Turkey [Am]Bolt had one only daughter
[Dm]As fair a [Am]lady as your eyes could see
She stole the keys to [D]her
daddo's [Am]harbour
And swore, Lord Baker,
[D]that she[Am]'d set free
Singin' you have houses
and you have [D]a living
[Am]And all Northumber belongs to thee
What would you give to
that [D]fair young [Am]woman
If out of prison [Dm]she'd set you [Am]free?
Singin' [Dm]I have hou[Am]ses
and [D]I have a[Am] living
And all Northumber belongs to me
I would [C]give them [Am]all to
that fair young woman
[Dm]If o[Am]ut of prison sh[D]e'd
[Am]set me f[C]ree[Am]
She's brought him down to
her daddo's harbour
And filled for him was the [C]ship of [Am]fame
An[D]d e[G]very t[Am]oast that
she did drink round him,
I wish, Lord Baker[Dm],
that [Am]you were mine.
And unto you I will this promise,
And seven years for [D]to [Am]keep it strong.
If you wed with no other wo[F]man,
I'll surely [G]wed with no other
[Am]man.[G][Am]
[Dm][D][G]
[Am]
When seven years was past and over
And seven [G]mornings were
rolling [Am]on
She's bundled up all her golden [F]clothing
And swore, [G]Lord Baker,
that she'd go [Am]find
[Dm]She travelled [Am]east and travelled west
Until she [G]came to the
[Em]Palace [Am]of Fame
Who's that, who's that,
ask the young bold [F]porter
Who knocks so [G]gently and can't get [Am]in?
Is this Lord Baker's palace,
[E]replied the [Am]lady,
Or is [G]his lordship him[Am]self within?
This is Lord Baker's palace,
replied the [F]porter,
This very [G]day took a new bride [Am]in.
Will you tell him,
send me a quart of his wedding cake,
a glass of [G]his wine, it being so [Am]strong,
[D]and [Am]to remember the
brave young [F]woman
who did re[G]lease him in Turkey [Am]land.
So in goes, in goes [D]the [Am]young,
bold porter
Kneels [G]down gently [Am]on hi[G]s right kn[Am]ee
Rise up, rise up now,
my bold young [F]porter
What [G]news have you brought to [Am]me?
Well, I've been a porter
at your castle gates
[D]It's [Am]all of [G]thirty y[D]ears and[Am] three
An[D]d now b[G]y them s[Am]tands
the fairest [F]wo man,
And the like of [G]her I did never [Am]see.
She wears a gold ring on every finger,
And on the [G]middle one,
where she [Em]wears [Am]three,
[D]She [Am]has more gold hung
around her [F]middle
Than a bine or [G]thumber and family
[Am]She [Dm]asked[Am] you send
her a cut of your wedding cake
A glass of [G]your wine, it being so [Am]strong
And to remember that
brave young [F]woman
Who did re[G]lease you in Turkey [Am]land
[Dm][D][C][Am][Dm]
[C][Dm][D][G]
[Am]
He caught his sword all by the [D]handle
[Am]Caught the weddi[G]ng cake[Am]
in pieces three
Singing here's a piece
for Turkey's [F]daughter
A piece for [G]the new bride
and one for [Am]me
Down comes,
down comes the new [G]bride's [Am]mother
What will [G]I do with m[Am]y daughte[G]r,
[Am]dear?
Your [G]daughter [Am]came with one pack of [F]gold
I'll re[G]vert her home love
[Am]with thirt[G]y -thr[Am]ee[C][Am]
And [E]then Lord [Am]Baker ran to his darling
Of twenty [G]-one steps he made but [Am]three
And he's taken her all in his [F]arms
The fair young [G]woman [D]who [G]set[Am]
him [E]free[G][Am][Dm][D]
[G][Am]
You
