[Verse 1]
[C]Lor[G]d L[C]ovell,[G]
he [C]stood at his [G]castle [C]gate
Combing his milk [F]-wipes [C]deep
Lady [F]Nancy Bell, come [G]a -ridin' [C]by
Wish[F]ing her lover good [C]speed,
good speed
And a [G]wishin' her lover good [C]speed
Where [G]are [C]you goin', Lord [G]Lovell, she says
[C]Where are you goin', say[F]s she[C]
I'm [F]goin' a -ridin' [G]an d see,
he [C]says
Strange [F]countries for to [C]see
To see, strange [G]countries for to [C]see
When will you be back,
Lord [G]Lovell, she says
[C]When will you be back, she,
in a [F]year or two or [G]three or [C]more, and [Am]I'll [F]return to the[C]e,
to thee, and [G]I'll return to [C]thee.
[G]He had not been [C]gone but
[G]a year and a [C]day,
strange thoughts came [F]in [C]his head.
He [F]thought he'd seen
Lady [G]Nancy [C]Bell
[F]Asleep as she was [C]dead, was dead,
[G]Asleep as she was [C]dead[G][C]
He [G]mounted [C]on his [G]milk -white steed
[C]He rode to London town
And [F]there he heard the [G]bells
a [C]-ringin' [F]morning all [C]around, [G]around,
[C]and a -mo[G]rnin' all aro[C]und.
[G]Oh, what is the [C]matter,
Lord [G]Lovell, [C]he says,
and who is dead, says he?
A [F]lady is dead, Miss [G]Nancy Bell,
[C]they say[F] she was kin to the[C]e, to thee,
they [G]say she was kin to [C]thee
go [G]open her [C]coffin
Lord [G]Lovell he [C]says pull
down to [F]me her [C]shroud
that [F]I may kiss her g[G]ay cold l[C]ips
and the [F]tears come trinklin [C]down down
and the [G]tears come trinklin [C]down
Go dig my grave, Lord Lovell,
he says, dig my [F]grave, says [C]he,
I [F]am not long in this [G]world
to live [C]for the [F]loss, my love, of [C]thee, of thee,
for [G]the loss, my love, of [C]thee.
They [G]buried Lady [C]Nancy in
[G]the old church[C]yard,
Lord Lovell in [F]the [C]choir,
And [F]from her grave grew [G]a red, [C]rose,
[F]And from his a [C]briar, a briar,
[G]And from his a [C]briar.[G][C]
They grew and they grew
in the [G]old church[C]yard
to the wonder [F]of [C]the town.
They [F]would have been there un[G]til this [C]day
if [F]the sexton had not cut them [C]down, down,
[F]if the [G]sexton had not cut them [C]down.[G]
