Poor Murdered Woman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]It w[C]as H[F]an[Dm]kie the S[C]quire,[F]
as [G]I've [Em]heard them say,[Dm]
Who rode out a [G]-hunting
on one [Dm]Saturday.
They hunted all [G]day,
but nothing they [Dm]found
But [C]a poor murdered woman
[F]laid on [G]the cold gro[Dm]und[C][F][Dm]
[C]About eight o 'c[F]lock,
boys, hot [G]dogs they [Em]throwed [Dm]on
A leather -haired car[G]mine,
and that was the [Dm]spot
They tried all the [G]bushes,
but nothing they found
[Dm]But a poor[C] murdered woman,[F]
laid [G]on the cold [Dm]ground[C][F][Dm]
They [C]whipped their dog[F]s off,
and [G]kept them away
[Dm]For I do think it prop[G]er,
she should have fair play
[Dm]They tried all the bulls[G]hit,
but nothing they [Dm]found
But [C]a poor murdered wo[F]man,
laid [G]on the [Dm]cold [C]ground[F]
[Dm]They mount[C]ed horses
[F]and they rod[G]e off the ground
[Dm]They rode to the [G]village
and alarmed it all [Dm]around
It's late in the [G]evening,
I'm sorry to say
[Dm]She cannot b[C]e removed
[F]until the[G] nex[Dm] t day[C][F][Dm]
The [C]next Sunday [F]morning,
[G]about eight o 'c[Dm]lock
Some hundreds of [G]people
to the spot they did [Dm]flock
To see that poor [G]creature,
your heart sort of [Dm]bled
Some [C]coldness, some [F]violence,
came [G]into [Dm]this[C][F]
[Dm]She was took[C] off the commo[F]n,
and [G]down to some year
[Dm]And the man that has kept it[G],
his name [Dm]is Johnson
The coroner was sent [G]for,
the jury they [Dm]joined
And [C]soon they concluded
[F]and set[G]tled their lin[Dm]e[C][F]
[Dm]The [C]coffin was brought
[F]in [G]and she was[Dm] laid
And took to the [G]churchyard
that is called Leather[Dm]head
No father, no mother[G],
nor no friend I'm told
[Dm]Can't you see [C]the poor creat[F]ure
laid [G]under the [Dm]moon?[C][F][Dm][C][F][G][Dm]
[G][Dm][G][Dm][C][F]
[G][Dm][C][F]
[Dm]So now I'll [C]conc[Am]lude,[Dm]
and I'll [G]finish my song
[Dm]And those that have done it,[Dsus4]
[G]shall I find themselves wrong
[Dm]For the last day of judgement,[G]
the trumpet shall sound
[Dm]And if souls not aboun[Dm]d,
I'm afraid [G]won't be [Dm]found
