[G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Good people [C]all with one accord,
[G]Lament [C]for Mar[G]y Bla[C]ize,[F]
[C]She never wanted one[F] goo[C]d word,
From those who spoke her praise,
The needy seldom passed her door,
And always found her [G]kind,
[C]She freely lent to all the poor,
Who left a pledge behind.

[Verse 2]
She [C]strove the neighbour hood to please,
With manners wondrous win[G]ning,
She [C]never followed wicked ways,
Unless when [G]she was [C]sinning,
[Dm]At church in silks and [G]satins new,
With [C]hoop of monstrous [G]size,
She [Am]never [Dm]slumbered in [Em]her p[F]ew,
[G]But when she closed her eye[C]s.

[Verse 3]
[C]
Her love was sought I do declare,
[G]By [C]twenty [G]beaux and [F]more,
[G]The Kin[C]g himself did seem to care,
Where she had [G]walked be[C]fore,
But [Dm]wealth and [C]finery all fled,
And hangers- on [G]all gone,
The [Am]doctors found when [Dm]she w[Em]as d[F]ead,
The [G]life within her [C]none.

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][Dm][G][F][G]

[Verse 4]
Good [C]people all with one accord,
[G]Lament for Mary Blaize,
Who [C]never [G]wanted one good [C]word,
[G]From those who spoke her[C] praise,
The needy seldom passed her door,
And always found [G]her kind,
She [C]freely lent to all the poor
Who left a [G]pledge be[C]hind.

[Verse 5]
Let [Dm]us lament in s[G]orrow sore,
For [C]Kent Street well may [G]say,
That [Am]had she lived a t[Dm]welve [Em]month more,[F]
[G]She had not died today.
