_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There _ _ was a _ lord lived in [Bb] this town
_ _ Who had a lovely handsome _ [Cm] _ [Bb] daughter
_ _ She _ was courted by [Eb] a fair young _
[Bb] man
Who wasn't a servant [F] to her _ [Bb] father _ _ _
But when her _ _ parents came [C] to know
_ [Bb] They swore they'd send him from the island _ _
The _ _ maid she knew her heart would break
_ [F]
And she'd depart with young Matt _ [Bb]
Island _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Straightway unto _ her love she goes
Into his room him to [F] _
_ [Bb] awaken _ _ _ _
Saying arise my _ love [Eb] and go [Bb] _ away
This very night you will [F] be _ [Bb] taken
I _ _ _ _ _ _ overheard my father [C] say
In [Bb] spite of me he [Eb] would transport you
_ _ So _ go _ _ _ and go _ away
You know right [C] well I do [Bb] adore you
_ _ _ [C] _
_ [Bb] _ _ Oh _ must I go he said to her
Oh must I go without [C] my _ [Bb] wages
_ _ _ Without a _ penny in my _ purse
Just like [C] some poor forlorn _ _ stranger _ _ _
Here's fifty _ _ guineas in bright [C] gold
_ [Bb] And that's far more [Eb] than father [Bb] owes you _
So _ _ take it now [Eb] and [Bb] go _ _ _ _
I wish to God I'd gone [C]
before [Bb] _ you _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
They _ both sat _ down [Eb] upon [Bb] the _ bed
Just for the sight of one [F] half _ [Bb]
hour
_ _ _ And _ not a _ word [Eb] did either [Bb]
speak
_ But down their cheeks the tears [C] did [Bb] show _ _ _ _
She laid her _ [Bb] head upon [C] his breast
As [Bb] round his neck her [Eb] arms entwined them
Not a duke nor lord [C] nor ally or wed
_ _ I'll wait [Bb] for you my own [Cm] Matt _ [Bb]
Island
_ _ _ The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
lord _ _ _ discoursed with [Eb] his daughter [Bb] fair
_ One night alone in her _ [F] _ _ bedchamber _
_ _ Saying I'll give you eve to bring him _ back
Since there's no one his style [Cm]
above
[Bb] _ _ _ _ She wrote a letter then [Cm] in haste
For [Bb] him her heart was [Eb] still _ repining _ _ _ _ _
She's brought him back to [Eb] the church [Bb] they went
_ And made a lord of young [Cm] Matt _ [Bb] Island _
