Am

[Verse 1]

As I cam in by Monymusk
    F
And doon by Alford's dale
  Am
A sad misfortune happened to me
      F                  G
And I think nae shame to tell
Am                         D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

[Verse 2]
   Am
As I gaed in by Monymusk
    F
The moon was shining clear
    Am
And I held on to Lethendy
   F             G
To see my Maggie dear
Am                         D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

[Verse 3]
Am
I did gang when I did think
     F
That a' were sleepin' soun'
    Am
But plague upon yon auld wife
    F                 G
For she cam' slinkin' doon
Am                         D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

    Am
Sae cannily she slipped the lock
    F
And set the door agee
     Am
Then crawled upon her hands and 
knees
   F                 G
To see what it could be

Then to the bells wi' a' her micht

Sae loud she made them ring

The biggin she would bring

And when she saw I wouldnae slip
    F
She ran to her guid man
       Am
Says, "There's a lad into the hoose
    F            G
And this I winna stand
Am                         D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

    Am
For it's a most disgraceful thing
   F
It would provoke a saunt

To see the servant girls wi' lads

When the gentle anes maun want

Just working for a fee"

Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

    Am
The auld man, he cam ben himself
    F
And he pushed ben his heid
     Am
Guid faith, I thocht it was a ghost
     F              G
Just risen frae the deid
Am                         D

     Am
He'd duddy drawers upon his legs
     F
He'd on a cap o' white
    Am
And he'd a face as lang's my leg
    F             G
And in his hand a light
Am                         D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad
