Chords for Richard Thompson - Willi O' Winsbury

For the king he [Bb] has been a poor _ [F] prisoner, _
_ [F] a prisoner _ long in [Bb] _ _ Spain, _ _ _
And will he [Eb] o'er all the [Bb] _ winds _ [Gm] _ breathe?
_ _ _ _ [Eb] As lain long with his daughter at hand,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What troubles [Bb] you, _ my daughter _ [F] dear? _
[Eb] You look so [F] _ pale and [Eb] wound, _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] O _ have [Eb] you had any [Bb] sore [F] sickness,
[G] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ Nor [Eb] _
yet been [F] sleeping, we are [Eb] _ _
mild. _ _ _ _ _ _
I have [Bb] not had any sore [F] sickness, _ _
_ [Eb] Nor yet been [F] sleeping, we are [Eb] _ _ mild. _ _ _
[Bb] A test _ [Eb] for you, my _ _ [Dm] father [Gm] _ dear,
_ _ _ _ [Eb] For _ _ [F] abidance long [Eb] in Spain.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Cast off, [Bb] cast off _ your very brown [F] gown, _
Stand naked _ upon the _ _ stand, _ _ _ _
[Bb] The time [Eb] may know you by [Bb] your [Gm] shape. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Whether you be [F] a maiden or a _ knave,
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
Well she's [Bb] cast off _ her very [Eb] brown [F] gown, _
[Eb] Stood naked _ [F] upon the _ [Eb] stand, _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Her _ haunches [Eb] were round and [Bb] her apron was [Gm] _ short,
_ _ _ _ [Eb] And her cheek was a pale and wound,
_ _ Well _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] is he a lord [Gm] or a duke or a [F] knight,
Or a [Eb] man of [F] birth or of [Eb] fame? _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Or is he [Eb] one of my _ [F] seven [Gm] men, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] That's lately [F] come out of [Eb] Spain? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well he is not [Bb] a lord nor a _ duke or a [F] knight,
Nor a [Eb] man of _ [F] birth nor [Eb] of _ fame,
_ _ _ [Bb] But he is [Eb] Willie of [Bb] _
_ _ [Gm] Winsbury. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] I can buy him [F] longer [F] my lane, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Than the king he [Bb] has sent for his merry men [F] all,
His [Eb]
merry men thirty and three,
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Saying bring [Eb] me Willie [Bb] of _ _ _ [Gm] Winsbury, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] For _ [F] hanged he _ shall be. _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ But when [Bb] he came the king [F] before,
_ He [Eb] was _ clad [F] in the red [Eb] silk, _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] His hair [Eb] was like the [Bb] strands of [Gm] corn, _ _ _ _
And [Eb] his cheek was [F] as white [Eb] as milk, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It is [Bb]
no wonder, said _ the [F] king,
_ _ [Eb] My _ daughter's [F] love you did [Eb] win, _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] If I were [Eb] a woman [Bb] as I am [Gm] a _ man,
_ _ _ [Eb] My _ _ [F] bedfellow you would [Eb] have been, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And will you [Bb]
marry my _ daughter [F] Janet,
By [Eb] the troth of [F] your right [Eb] hand? _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] And will [Eb] you _ marry [Bb] my _ daughter [Gm] _ Janet,
_ _ _ _ [Eb] And yet be [F] a lord of the land? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh I [Bb] will marry your _ daughter [F] _ Janet,
[Eb] By the troth of [F] my [Bb] right _ _ [Bb] hand. _ _ _ _
I [Eb] will marry [Gm] your _ daughter _ Janet, _ _
But [Eb] I won't be [F]
a lord of [Eb] the _ land. _
_ _ _ _ _ And he's [F] mounted her up [Bb] on a milk [C]-white [F] _ steed,
_ [Eb] Himself on a [F] _ dappled grey, _
_ _ _ _ And [Bb] he's met her [Eb] a lady _ [Bb] of as much [Gm] land, _ _ _ _
As she [Eb] could _ ride in [F] a long [Eb] summer's day. _ _
