[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] The King [G] has been a _ [D] prisoner, _ _ _ _ And [Am] a prisoner long _ [C] in Spain, _ _ _
[G] And Willie _ of _ _ [Bm] Winsbury _ Has [G] _
laid long with his daughter _ [C] at home.
_ What ails thee, [G] what ails thee, My daughter [D] Janet? _ _
_ [Am] Well, you look so _ [C] pale and womb, _ _ [G] Oh, [Em] have you [G] had any sore [B] sickness?
_ _ _ _ [Em] Nor yet [G] been sleeping [C] with a man, _ _ _
[G] [C] I have [G] not had any sore [D] sickness,
_ _ _ Nor [Am] yet been [Bm] sleeping with [C] a man.
_ _ _ [G] It is [Em] for [G] you, my father [Bm] dear, _ _ _ [G] For biding so long [C] in Spain,
_ _ _ [D] [C] Cast off, [G] cast off your fairy [D] brown gown, _ _ You [Am] stand naked upon [C] the _ stone, _ _
[G] That I may know you by [Bm] your _ shape, _ [G] _
Whether you be a maiden _ [C] or no.
_ And she [G] cast off her fairy [D] brown _ gown, _ [Am] She stood naked _ upon [C] the stone,
_ _ [G] And her apron was [Em] low, [G] and her haunches [Bm] were round, _ _ [G] And her face was pale [C] and womb. _ _ _
[G] Oh, [C] was it with [G] a lord, or a duke, [D] or a knight, _ _ [Am] Or a man of [C] birth and fame?
_ _ [G] Oh, was it with one of me serving _ [Bm] men, _
_ _ [Em] That's [G] lately come out of [C] Spain?
_ _ _ No, it wasn't [G] with a lord, or a duke, [D] or a _ knight, _ [Am] Or a man of birth [C] and fame, _ _ _
[G] _ It was with William _ _ [B] Winsbury.
_ _ _ [G] I could bite no longer _ [C] alone, _ _ And the king [G] has called on his merry [D] men _ all,
_ [Am] By thirty _ and [C] by three, _ _ [G] Saying, fetch me this William _ _ [Bm] Winsbury,
_ _ _ [G] For hanging he shall [C] _ be. _
And when [G] he came, the king _ [D] before, _ _ _ He was [Am] glad all in the [C] red silk,
_ _ [G] His hair was like the strands of [Bm] gold, _ _ [G] And his skin was as white as [C] the milk.
_ _ And it is [G] no wonder, said _ [D] the king, _ _ That [Am] my _ daughter's love [C] you did win,
_ _ _ [G] If I was [Em] a woman, [G] as I [B] am a man, _ _ _ [G] My bedfellow you would [C] have been. _ _
And will [G] you marry my _ [D] daughter Janet, _ _ _ [Am] By the truth of your [C] right hand?
_ _ _ [G] Oh, will _ you marry my daughter _ [Bm] Janet, _ _
[G] _ I will make you the lord of my [C] _ _ _ land.
Yes, I [G] will marry your _ [D] daughter Janet, _ _ _ [Am] By the truth of my [C] right hand.
_ _ [G]
Yes, I will marry your daughter _ [B] Janet, _ _ [G] Thou not be the lord of [C] your land.
And _ he's mounted [G] her on a milk-white [D] _ _ steed, And [A] himself on [F#] a [C] dappled grave,
_ _ [G] And he's made her the lady of as [Bm] much land, _
_ _ [G] As she'll ride on a long [C] summer's day. _ _ _ _ _
