Along the North Strand Chords by Lisa Oneill

_ [A] Oh pretty [Em]
young boy, come from the north strand _ _
_ He came [D] a _ -woing [Em] to me _
_ He _ _ [D] promised he'd bring me [Em] down by the north strand
_ And there [D] he'd [Em] marry me _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh get some of your _ mother's feed for me _
[E] _ _ [Em] And more of [D] your _ [Em] daddy's gold
_ _ And to the [D] best horse is [Em] he
Having his stable where there [D] are thirty [Em] _
_ trees
_ Oh she got some of her _ mother's feed _
_ And more of [D] her _ [Em] daddy's gold
_ _ And to the [D] best horse is [Em] he
Having his stable where there [D] were thirty [Em] trees _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And if he got up on her milk-white steed
_ And _ [E] he [D] on his daffled [E] _ [Em] grave _
And they _ [D] _
rung [Em] on to the north strand
Was [E] three [D] long hours [E] before day
[Em] _ _
Get down, get down, pretty Polly _ _ says
_ _ Oh get down, [D] get down to [Em] _
me
To six [D] little girls [Em] that I drowned in here
And you are [D] the seventh [E] shall be
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Your silks, your satins, you must take them all _ _
_ _ _ _ Deliver [D] them upon [Em] to _ _ me
A thing to [D] do rich and [Em] to grant, says he
To roll in [D] the bright [Em] rocky way
_ _ _ My silks, my satins, I must take them all _ _
Please turn [D] your _ [Em] back to _ me _
A thing you're [D] too big [Em] of a ruffin, says she
To see a naked [G] woman _ [Em] like me _
_ He turned his back on the northern strand _ _ _ _
To watch [D] on the waves going [Em] _ by
_ She gripped him [D] round [Em] the middle _ so high
And flung him [D] right _ [Em] into the _ _ deep _
He _ swam high and [D] he swam [Em] _ low
_ _ Until [D] he swam to the [Em] sea _ shore
_ Put out [D] your hand, pretty [Em] Polly, he says
And something [D]
shall make you [E] my bride _
_ [Em] _ Oh stop where you are, my cruel little _ lad _
Oh stop where [D] you are, [Em] says _ she _
To six [D] little girls [Em] that you drowned in there
And you [E] are the seventh shall be _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
She got up on her milk white steed
_ _ And she laid in [D] her _ [Em] dappled _ grave
And she [D] rode along to [Em] her father's hall door
With three [D] long hours [Em] before _ day
Oh the parrot [D] is up in [Em] the window so high
I'm afraid it'll [D] come down [Em] upon me
_ _ Please turn [D] your tail, [Em] pretty Polly, she says
Don't tell [D] any tales [Em] unto me
_ _ For I love [D] your cage [Em] of the glitter and gold
And your door [D] of the best _ [Em] _ _
savoury _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Who's that, who's that, the father did say _ _ _
That's Father [D] in so long before [Em] _ _ day _
It's no [D] laughing matter, the [Em] parrot did say
It is no [D] laughing matter for [Em] _ me
_ For the cats [D] they are up in [Em] the window so high
I'm afraid they'll [D] come down [E] upon _ me
_ [Em]
Don't turn [D] your tail, pretty [Em] Polly, she _ says
Return _ [D] your tail upon [Em] _ _ _ me
For I love [D] your cage [Em] of the glitter and gold
And your door [D] of the best _ [Em] _ savoury _ _
