[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [A] [C] [G] [D]
[G] [C] The king has [G] been a [D] prisoner [C] in a prison [Am] alone in Spain
[C] And rarely a [G] room of his [Em] to read has [C] lain down for his daughter
[G] [Am]
[C] What I'll see, what I'll [G] see, my daughter [E] Janet
[D] Why [Bm] [C] do you look so pale [Am] and woe?
[C] Or have you [G] had any sore [Em] sickness?
[C] Or yet been sleeping [Am] in bed?
I have [C] not had [G] any sore [D] sickness
[C] Nor yet been sleeping [Am] with a man
[C] For it was for him [G] who we've had [Em] our dear
[C] Barbados alone in [Am]
Spain
[C]
Castafcars, [G] Donia, Berry, [D] Bronga
[C] Houston, Hager, the [Am] Pongas know
[C] That I may see [G] them [Em] by our home
[C] Whether you be of night [Am] or of all
[C] And she's got off [G] her Berry [D] [G] Bronga
[D] [C] And stood naked upon [Am] the floor
[C] And her skin was made [G] of [Am] earth below
[Em] And [C] her skin was made [A] of earth below
Oh, [C] was it with the Lord [G]
already [D] there a [G] [D] night
[C] Our man of [Am] birth and faith
[C] Our one little pony [G] of [Em] disturbing may
[C]
Thus lightly come out [A] of Spain
[Am] No, [C] it wasn't with the Lord [G] already [D] there a night
[C] Nor a man of birth [Am] and faith
[C] No, it was with [G]
[Em] Cleveland's three
[A] I [C] could die no longer [A] at all
[C] And the king has gone [G] for his merry [D]
man all
[C] By earth he [Am] invites me
Say, [C] inflict me this [G] plea of wooden's [Em] worry
[C] For him he [A] shall be
[Em] [C] But when he [G] came the king [D] before
He [C] was clad all [Am] in myrrh and silk
[C] And his [G] hair was like a strung [Em] of gold
And [C] his skin was [Am] like a silk
And [C] it is no wonder, [G] [D] said the king [C] of birth
Our first [Em] heart did he quench
[C] For if I was a [G] woman who died [Em] in a manor
[C] Then my breath alone you will [Am] have heard
[C] And will you [G] marry my daughter [D] Janet
[Am] [C] By the truth of my [Am] writing
[C] And will you marry [G] my daughter [Em]
Janet
And [C] I'll make you lord of [Am] my heart
[C] Yes, I will marry [G] your daughter [D] Janet
[A] By [C] the truth of my [Am] writing
Yes, [C] I will [G] marry your daughter [Em] Janet
[C] But I'll not be lord [Am] of your [C] life
And he's mounted her up [G] on a milk [D]-white steed
[C] And he's pinned himself on a [A] dappled grave
[Am] [C] And he may now the [G] mistress of as [Em] much love
[C] As you ride on a long, slow [Am] sleigh
[G] [Em] [A] [C]
[Em] [D] [G]
