6 6 -5 5 -5 6 5 -4 4 -3 As I went a-walking, down by the loch 3 4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 As I went a-walking, one monring of late 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5-4 4 -3 3 Who should I spy but, my old dear comrade 4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -3 -4 4 Wrapped in white flannel, so hard was his fate
6 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 3 I boldly stepped up to, and kindly did ask him 4 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 Why are you wrapped in, flannel so white? 5 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5-4 4 -3 3 "My body was injured, and sadly disordered" 3 4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -3 -4 4 "All by a young woman, mine own heart's delight."
3 4 4 -3 -3 4 -4 -4 4 -3 3 3 "For had she but told me, when she disordered me" 5 -5 6 6 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 "Had she but told me of it at the time" 5 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 3 3 "I might have got salts, or pills of white mercury" 3 4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -3 -4 4 "But now I'm cut down, in the height of my prime."
6 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 3 "Get six pretty maidens, to carry my coffin" 4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 "Six pretty maidens, to bear up my pall" 6 6 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 3 "And give to each of them, bunches of roses" 3 4 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -3 -4 4 "So they do not smell me, when they go along" |
