_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In a night-o-man town
Naughty soul would look up
Naughty soul would look _ _ up
Naughty soul would look [D] down
_ _ Naughty soul would look up
_ _ Naughty soul would look _ down
To show me my way
To that night-o-man _ town _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I bought me a horse
She was called the Grey Mare
Grey mane and grey _ _ tail
A green stripe down her _ _ back
Grey mane and grey _ _ tail
A green stripe down her back
And there ain't no hair on her
That ain't all black _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
She stood so still
She threw me to the dirt
She bruised at my _ _ head
She _ teared my _ shirt
_ From saddle to stirrup
I mounted again _
_ _ And on [D] my ten toes
I rode over the plain _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And when I got there
No one could I see
They all stood around
_ Looking at me
_ I called for a quad
To drive my gladness _ away
_ _ To stifle the dirt
For it rained the whole _ day _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The king and the queen
And the company more
Came a-riding behind
In the walking _ before
_ _ Came a stark naked drummer
Who was beating his drum _ _
With his hands on his bosom
Came a-marching _ along _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sat down on a hard
Hard-court frozen stone
Ten thousand stood around
And yet I was alone _
_ Put my heart in my hands
For to keep my head warm _
Ten thousand were drowned
But that I never were _ _ bound _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ If not old man town
Not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look _ _ up
And not a soul would look down
_ _ Not a soul would look _ _ up
And not a soul would look _ down
To show me my way
Without not old man town _
