[C] in the bed with your wife, and their hearts both [F] beat as one, yes their [C] hearts both beat as one.
Now if [Am] the truth, you [C] told to me, rich man you shall be,
but if a lie, you told to me, I'll hang you [F] to a tree, I'll [C] hang you to a tree.
But he gathered [Am] him up, a [C] pretty good man, and he done it with a free good will,

so they [Am] lay down [C] together again, and they soon was fast asleep,
but [Am] when they awoke [C] he was brought dead light, Lord Daniel at [F] their feet, Lord [C] Daniel at their feet,
get up [Am] from there, [C] you naked man, and put you on some clothes,
I [Am] never intend, [C] for to have it said that a naked man [F] I slow, that a naked [C] man I slow,
oh give me a [Am] chance, [C] said little Maddie grows, a chance to fight for my life,
for [Am] there you have, [C] two very fine swords, and me not as much [F] as a knife, no me not [G] as much as a [C] knife,
oh yes I [Am] have, two very [C] fine swords, and they cost me deep in the purse,
and [Am] you may have [C] the finest one, and I will take the [F] worst, yes I will [G] take the [C] worst,
and Maddie [Am] grows struck, [C] the very first lick, and he wounded Lord Daniel's sword,
Lord [Am] Daniel struck, [C] the very next lick, and he drove Maddie grows to [F] the floor,
yes he drove Maddie [C] grows to the floor, then he taken his [Am] lady, [C] by the hand and set her on his knee,
and he [Am] said now which [C] do you love the best, little Maddie grows or [F] me, little Maddie [C] grows or me,
very well I [Am] like [C] your rosy cheeks, very well I like your chin, but [Am] better I love [C] little Maddie grows,
than you and all of your [F] kin, than you and [C] all of your kin, you can dig my [Am] grave, [C] on a pretty fair hill,
dig it wide and deep, and put [A] little Maddie [C] grows in my arms, Lord Daniel at my [Em] feet, Lord Daniel [C] at my feet.
