Lady stands in the garden fair, sewing a silken seam.
On by and come this prince even, and he vowed her love he'd gain.
Oh lady, will you weep for me?
Lady, tell me true.
Ah, never yet, you heathen dog, I never shall for you.
_ She turned her around and a louded cry begun,
I love not you.
And then he vowed him prince even, that she would weep for sore.
Oh lady, will you weep [Gm] for me?
Lady, tell me true.
[G] Ah, never yet, you heathen dog, I never shall for you.
_ _ _ So he laid her all on the ground, between himself and the wall.
[Gm] And then he stripped [C] her of [G] her will, and a maidenhead doll.
Oh lady, will you weep for me?
Lady, tell me true.
Ah, never yet, you heathen dog, I never shall for you. _ _
Oh, I curled your father in his bed, and your mother by his side.
And [Dm] seven brothers, [C] one by one, [G] I drowned them in their tide.
Oh lady, will [C] you weep [G] for me?
Lady, tell me [Dm] true.
Ah, never yet, you [C] heathen dog, I never [Gm] shall for you.
_ Oh, I'll lay you in a vault of [G] stone, with thirty locks upon.
And meat nor drink you'll never get, till your baby [C] it is born.
[G] Oh lady, will you [C] weep for [G] me?
Lady, tell me [Gm] true.
Ah, never [C] yet, you heathen [G] dog, I never shall for you.
So he's laid her in a vault of stone, with thirty locks upon.
And he's taken the key in his right hand, to the mountain he has gone.
Oh lady, will you weep for me?
Lady, tell me true.
Ah, never yet, you heathen dog, I never shall for you.

_ _ Prince Heathen he from the mountains came, with his merry men all in a line.
And he sought out this pretty young girl, all down in a vault of stone.
Oh, how did you and do you weep?
Lady, tell me true.
[Dm] Ah, never weeping [Gm] heathen dog, but dying here for you.
Oh, meat nor drink you'll never get, nor out of prison come.
[F] Ah, meat nor drink [A] you'll never [C] get, till your baby it is born.
Oh lady, [G] will you weep for me?
Lady, tell me true.
Ah, never yet, you heathen dog, I never shall for you.

Her time came on and further on, in labour there she lay.
She laboured up and she laboured down, but lighter she could not be.
Oh lady, will you weep for me?
Lady, tell me true.
[Gm] Ah, never [C] yet, you heathen dog, I never [G] yet for you.
_ So he's taken her all on the green, and his merry men stood all around.
And now they [Am] laughed, and now they [G] mocked as she bore [C] forth her son.
Oh [G] lady, will you [C] weep for [G] me?
Lady, tell me true.
[C] Ah, never [Dm] yet, [Em] you heathen dog, [G] I never shall for you. _ _ _ _ _

[Gm] _ A drink, a drink this young girl cries off from Prince [G] Heathen's hand.
Ah, never a drop Prince Heathen cries till ye [C] wrap up your son.
Oh lady, will you weep for me?
[G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ [Gm] _ _
Oh, lend to me a silken shawl or a blanket or a sheet.
[Dm] That I may wrap this little baby [Gm] that lies in my arms asleep.
Oh lady, will you weep for me? _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
Oh, I'll lend you an old horse blanket to wrap him head and feet.
[Gm] And there she [C] took it in her hand, so bitter she did [G] weep.
Oh lady, do you weep for me?
Lady, tell me true.
Ah, never yet, you heathen dog, I never [Gm] now for you.
_ Could you not give any better thing than a horse blanket [G] or a sheet
[Dm] To wrap and [D] swaddle your own young [G] son that lies in my arms asleep?

He's borne her up so very soft, he's borne her up so [C] slow.
[G] He's laid her [C] all in a soft green bed so dear, he loved her now.
Oh lady, will you weep for me?
[G] Lady, tell me true.
[C] Ah, never [A] yet, you heathen dog, [G] I never shall for you.
