Next up we'd like to play a [G] song, an old Scottish folk song from the late 1700s.
It's a song called Willie of Winsbury and we recorded this version of it for our new album.
And it's a story of the king and princess Janet and this guy Willie of Winsbury.
The [D]
[F#m]
[A]
[F#m] [C#m] [D]
[A] [F#]
[E] [D]
king [C#] had [A] been a prisoner, oh [C#] a prisoner [D] in Spain
And Willie of [A] [F#] Winsbury [D] had laid [F#] with his daughter [D] Jane
What ill she, [F#m] what ill [G#] she, my daughter Janet, [F#m] why you look so [C#] [D] pale and wet
Have you had [A] any sores [E] in your lips, [D] or you [E] been sleeping with a [D] man?
No I [F#m] will not have [G#]
[F#m] [C#]
[D] any hands for you [A] my [E] father dear, [D] or play [E] you
So cast off, cast [G#] off your berry brown gown
[F#m] And stand naked upon [D] the stone
So I'll be carried [A] by your [E] wolf shape, [D] whether you be [E] a maiden or a nun
So she cast [G#] off her berry brown [A] gown
She [F#m] stood naked [G#m] upon [D] the stone
Her haunches were wide [A] and her apron [E] was low
[D] Her face [E] was pale [D] and wet
Oh was it [F#m] with the lord or a [A] duke or a knight
Or a man [B] of [D] earth and faith
Or was it with one [A] of me seven [E] men
[D] Who later [F#] come out [D] of Spain
No it wasn't [F#m] with the lord or [A] no duke
[F#m] [A]
[D] let's say
It was Willie [A] of [E] Winsbury
[D] I'd fight [E] no longer [D]
alone
So the king [F#m]
called on his merry [G#m] men all by [F#m] thirteen [A] by
[D] three
He says fetch me this Willie [A] of [E] Winsbury
[D] For [E] hanged he shall be
But when [F#m] he came [A] the king [E] before
He was [F#m] clad [G#] in all [D] red silk
And his hair was [A] like the strands of gold
[D] And his face was [E] as pure as [D] the milk
Oh it is [F#m] no wonder [A] said the king
[E]
That [F#m] my [E] daughter's [D] love you did win
For if I were a woman [A] as I am [E] a man
[D] My bedfellow [E] you would have been
So will you [G#] marry [A] my daughter Janet
By the [F#m] truth of [G#] your [D] right hand
Yes will you marry [A] my daughter [E] Janet
[D] I will make you the [E] lord of [D] my land
Yes I [F#m] will marry [A] your daughter Janet
By [F#m] the truth of your [D]
right hand
Yes I will marry [A] your daughter [E] Janet
But [D] I will not [E] be the lord [D] of your land
And he's mounted [F#m] her [A] on a snow white [A] stick
And [F#m] himself on a [D] dappled grave
And he's made her the lady [A] of Asmuchland
[E]
[D] She will lie on a long summer's day
[F#m] [A] [G#]
