Lord Gregory

  C                                
I am a queen's daughter, I come 
      Bb
from Aberdeen
   C                            D 
In search of Lord Gregory, pray 
         G
god I find him
    C                            
The rain beats on my yellow head, 
                 Bb
the dew wets my skin
   C                               
My wee babe's cold in my arms, Lord
 D               G
 Gregory, let me in


[Verse 2]
     C                         
Lord Gregory, he is not here, I 
                 Bb
swear, can't be seen
     C                             
He's gone to bonny Scotland for to 
D                 G
bring home a fair queen
   C                          
So leave now these portals and 
               Bb
likewise this hall
         C                         
For it's deep in the sea, you 
  D            G
should find you downfall

[Verse 3]
    C                              
Oh, don't you remember, love, that 
             Bb
night in Aberdeen
     C                             
When we exchanged rings, love, and 
D            G
I against my will
C                                 
Yours was pure silver and mine was
     Bb
 but tin
C                       D         
Yours cost a guinea and mine but a 
 G
pin


[Verse 4]
   C                             
My curse on you, Mother, my curse 
       Bb
being sore
  C                                
I dreamed that my true love come a 
D               G
knocking at the door
    C                            
Lie down now, my foolish son, lie 
          Bb
down and sleep
     C                       
Twas only a servant girl lies 
 D              G
drowned in the deep


[Verse 5]
   C                               
Go saddle my black horse, the brown
        Bb
 or the bay
   C                              
Go saddle the fastest horse in my 
D           G
stable this day
     C                             
I'll ride over mountains and 
     Bb
valleys so wide
     C                             
I'll find the girl that I love and 
D           G
ride by her side
