Four and twenty bonnie bonnie boys

Along came Little Sir Hugh

He kicked the ball very high
   E                  Bm   D
He kicked the ball so low

He kicked it over the castle  wall

Where no-one dared to go

   E                  Bm   D
Without my playmates all"

Cause my blood to fall"

[Verse 3]
D        F#m    D             
She took him by the milk white
F#m    B              A
 hand, and led him to the hall
D     F#m  D          F#m      
Until they came to a stone 
     B                   C#
chamber, where no one could hear him
 call
   A                    E         
She sat him on a golden chair, she
         Bm   D
 gave him sugar sweet,
   A         E        F#m     E 
She lay him on a dressing board 
     A      E         A F#m  Bm  
and stabbed him like a sheep
D F#m


[Verse 4]
D        F#m    D             
Out came the thick thick 
F#m    B              A
blood, out came the thin
D     F#m  D          F#m      
Out came the bonny heart's 
     B                   C#
blood till there was none within
   A                    E         
She took him by the yellow hair, 
         Bm   D
and also by the feet
   A         E        F#m     E 
She threw him in the old draw 
     A   F#m  Bm  D F#m
well, fifty fathoms deep
