_ [C] As I walked out over London Bridge [Am] On a misty [G] morning early
I overheard a fat pretty maid [C] Crying for the life [F] of a Jody
[C] _
Straddle me a milk white steed [Am] Bridal [G] me a pony
[C] And I'll ride down [Gm] to London [F] town And I'll beg for the [F] life of my Jody
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
And when [C] she came to the courthouse [Am] steps The poor [G] folks numbed and many
[C] A hundred [G] crowns she passed [C] around Saying pray for the life of [F] my Jody
[C] He never stole a mule or [Am] a mare He never [G] murdered any
[F] If he shot [G] one of the kings while [F] Dido [C] was only a [F] fetus found
_ [C] _ _ _ _
And then she strolled through the marble [Am] halls Before the [G] judge and the jury
Down on her bended knee she [F] falls Crying [C] for the life of her [F] Jody
He [C] never stole, he never [Am] slew He never [G] murdered any
[C] He never [G] injured any of [C] you Spare me the life [F] of my Jody

[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ The judge looked over his left shoulder [Am] He says I'm [G] sorry for thee
My pretty fair maid you've come [C] too late He's been condemned already
But six pretty babes I had by [Am] him The seventh [G] one lies in my body
[F] And I will [G] beg him all over [C] again If you give me the life [F] of my Jody
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Your Jody will hang from a silver [Am] chain Such as we [G] don't hang many
[C] And he'll be [G] laid in a coffin brave [F] For your [C] six fine sons [F] that care thee
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
I wish I had you in the public square [Am] The whole [G] town gathered around me
With my rat sword and a pistol To a fight [C] for the life [F] of my Jody
