As I was [B] walking [C#] all alone, I heard twelve [B] corpses [C#] blacken the mane,
And ta'en and ta'en, the children did [B] say,
Oh, [C#] where shall we [B] gang and die [C#] in the day?
Oh, where shall we [C#m] gang and die in the [C#] day?
In behind [B] yon old [C#] felled eye, I watched their lies, [B] a new [C#m] slain night,
And nobody cares that he lies [B] dead, oh, But his [C#] hound [B] and his [C#m] lady fair, oh,
His hound and his [B] [C#] lady fair.
His hound is ta'en [B] the [C#] hunting game,
His hound is ta'en the [B]
[C#] hunting game, [C#m] His hound is ta'en the hunting game,
His lady's ta'en, under the [B] mage, oh,
[C#] So we mun [B]
backard in [C#] a suite, oh, We mun [B] backard [C#] in a suite.

He'll sit on [F#] his white [C#] horse bane, And I'll pike out [B] his bonny [C#m] blue wean,
We many are long of his golden [B] hair, [C#] We'll thicken [B] his twenty [C#m]-clothes bed, oh,
We'll thicken [B] his twenty [C#]-clothes bed.
Many are warm for him, I explain,
But name shall came where [E]
he [C#] is gain, For his [C#m] white horse, when they're [B] gone,
[C#] The wind shall blow [B]
forever [C#] there, oh, The wind shall [B] blow [C#] forever
