Chords for Niamh Parsons & Graham Dunne with "Rigs of Rye"

_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] It was [C] in the month of [Dm] sweet July [G]
Before [C] the sun shone [G] in the sky _
Down between [F] two rigs [C] of rye I [Dm] heard two lovers talking
_ [C]
He said, Lassie, Lassie, I must go [Dm] away [G]
And so no [C] longer with you can [G] I stay
But [Am] I've a word [F] or two to say If [Dm] you mind, for to tarry
Of [C] you, your father, he [Dm] takes great [G] care And your mother, [C] too, she [F] combs down your [G] yellow hair
And your sisters, [F] too, say you [C] get no share [F] If you [Dm] follow me, love, a [C] stranger
And, Lassie, Lassie, your [Dm] fortune is but [G] small And perhaps [C] it's true, if [F] you've got none [G] at all
I'm not much [E] love for [C] you at all [F] So [Dm] go and give your love to another
_ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] Oh, my [C] father can fret and [F] my mother [Dm] can frown [G] And my sisters, [C]
too, I [G] do disown
_ And if [Am] they were [F] dead and [C] below the ground I'd still [Dm] follow you, love, [D] you're no stranger
But this [C] Lassie's courage [F] began [Dm] to [G] fade And rosy [C] cheeks, they soon were [G] one to pay
And the [Am] years came [F] trickling [C] down like hay Or a [Dm] heavy shower in [C] summer
_ And he's taken her kerchief of [Dm] linen so [G] fine And he's kissed her [C] lips and then he's [G] write her eyes
Saying, [Am] weep no more, [F] love, for you [C] shall be mine
And [Dm] all that I said was [G] to try you And this [C] laddie was [F] of [Dm] courage [G] bold
A gallant [C] chief, just nineteen [G] years old And this [Am] made the hills [F] and the [C] valleys to roll
And the [Dm] young money lass has gone [G] with him [C] And this couple, they are [F] [Dm] married
_ [G] And they have [C]
babies, one [G] and two And they'll [Am]
embrace [F] in the [C] winter
_ And [Dm] in Montrose [C] in the summer
