[Verse 1]
What's the

O Son David, my Son David,
What's the blood on the point
of your sword?
Promise, tell [Gsus4]me true.[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]That's the blood of my grey mare
O Lady Mother, my Lady Mother,
That's the blood of my grey mare
She would not rule by [C]me.

[Verse 3]
[G]Your grey mare's blood was never so red
O Son David, my Son David,
Your grey mare's blood
was never so red
Promise, tell me true.
Son [Gsus4]David June Tab[C]or
[Em]That's the blood of my hawking hound
[D]O Lady Mother, my Lady Mother,
[C]That's the blood of my hawking hound
She would not rule by me.

Your [G]hawking hound's

[Verse 6]
He drew his sword to me.
[Em]What did you fall out about?
[D]O Son David, my Son David,
[C]It's all for a little holly bush

That'll never grow to a tree.

[Verse 7]
I'll [G]set my foot on a bottomless boat
O Lady Mother, my Lady Mother,
Set my foot on a bottomless boat,
Sail [Dm]upon [Gsus4]the sea.[C]

[Verse 8]
[G]When will you come back again?
O Son David, my Son David
When will you come back again?
Promise, [Dm]tell [Gsus4]me true.[C]

[Verse 9]
When [Em]the Sun and Moon meet in yonder glen
[D]O Lady Mother, my Lady Mother,
[C][G]
[C][G]

When [C]the Sun and Moon
meet in yonder glen,
And that will [Dm]never [C]be.
