If you meet me [Db] at the [Eb] Red Barn [Ebm] as sure as I [Db] have life
[Ebm] I will take you to [Db] Ipswich town [Eb] and they [Db] make you [Eb] my wife
Each day when the old [Db] man fetched [Eb] his poor and his pick-ups and [Db] his fight
[Eb] He went on [Ebm] to the [Ab] Red Barn and [Db] there he [Eb] dug her grave

Countless young men take by me to think on my unhappy fate to be hanged upon a tree
Miss William Corder to you I do declare I courted Maria Martin most beautiful and fair
I promised I would marry her a certain day instead of that I was resolved to take her life away
[Gb] [Eb] I went on to [Db] her [Eb] brother's house the 18th [Db] day of May [Eb] and said my dear [Gb] Maria [Eb] we will [Ab] fix the [Eb] wedding day
With a heart so [Db] wide she [Eb] thought no harm to meet me she [Ab] did go
I [Eb] murdered her all in [Db] the barn [Eb] and [Ab] laid her body [Eb] low
After [Db] a deed [Eb] was done she lay there in [Db] her ball
[Eb] Her bleeding mangled [Ab] body lay [Eb] beneath the Red Barn floor
[Ab] [Ebm]
[Db] [Ebm]
[Bbm]
[Eb] Now the whole thing's [Db] being [Eb] silent her spirit could [Db] not rest
[Eb] She appeared unto her [Db] mother [Eb] who'd suckled [Db] her at [Eb] her breast
For many a [Db] long run [Eb] for more her mind being sore [Db] abreast
Neither [Eb]
at night [Ab] nor yet [Db] by day [Eb] could she [Db] take any [Eb] rest
Her mother's mind [Db] being so [Eb] disturbed she dreamed it three [Db] nights long
[Eb] Her daughter she maimed [Db] murdered [Eb] beneath [Db] the Red [Eb] Barn floor
She sent the father [Db] to [Eb] the barn where he had [Db] rounded grass
And [Eb] there he found his
[Db] daughter [Eb] lay [Ab] mingling [Eb] with the grass
[Ebm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb]
[Db] [Eb] [Db] [Eb]
I cried as hard [Db] I could [Eb] not stand most woeful [Db] was the sight
[Eb] When her dear voice was brought [Db] to [Ebm] brood which pierced my heart [Ab] wide
[Eb] A dead father standing by likewise his [Db] loving wife
[Ab] [Eb] And in her grief the hair [Db] she tore [Eb] she [Ab] scarily [Db] could [Eb] be blind
[Bbm]
[Db]
Unmundane next will be my last when I am to be hung
So do you past, poor city, look on me
Poor madrine of that young girl I was hung upon a tree
[Dbm]
