ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Word is to the kitchen gone, and word is to the hall,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And word is up to Madam the Queen
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And that is the worst of all.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe, to the highest Stuart of all.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
"Arise, arise Mary Hamilton, arise and tell to me,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
What thou hast done with thy wee babe I saw and heard weep by thee?"
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
"I put him in a tiny boat, and cast him out to sea,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
That he might sink or he might swim, but he'd never come back to me."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
"Arise, arise Mary Hamilton, arise and come with me;
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There is a wedding in Glasgow town, this night we'll go and see."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
She put not on her robes of black, nor her robes of brown.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But she put on her robes of white, to ride into Glasgow town.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
And as she rode into Glasgow town the city for to see,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife cried "ach and alas for thee."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
"Ah you need not weep for me," she cried,"you need not weep for me.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
For had I not slain my own wee babe this night I would not die."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Ah little did my mother think when first she cradled me,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The lands I was to travel in and the death I was to die."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Last night I washed the Queen's feet and put the gold in her hair,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the only reward I find for this is the gallows to be my share."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
"Cast off, cast off my gown," she cried,"but let my petticoat be,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And tie a napkin 'round my face; the gallows I would not see."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Then by and come the King himself, looked up with a pitiful eye,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
"Come down, come down Mary Hamilton, tonight, you will dine with me."
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
"Ah hold your tongue, my sovereign liege, and let your folly be;
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
For if you'd a mind to save my life, you'd never have shamed me here.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Last night there were four Marys, tonight there'll be but three.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There was Mary Beaton and Mary Seaton and Mary Carmichael and me."
