Chords for Dick Gaughan - Bonnie Jeannie o' Bethelnie

[D] _ _ In Bonnie or Jeannie or Bethelme, for [A] example, [D] why did you choose that song?
The relationship between the two people.
First off, I like it as a song.
I like the language.
I like ballad language.
_ [A]
[Dm] And every time I sing that song, [D] I'm _ _ like_
There were four and [G] twenty [D] nobles sat in the king's [G] hall
And [D] Bonnie Glynn Logie [A] was the [G] Fleur-O-Thon
There [D] were six and [G] six nobles, [D] read through Banffry Fair
[G] And [D] Bonnie Glynn Logie [A] was the [G] Fleur-O-Thon
There [D] were six [G] and six maidens [D] sat in the [G] king's hall
[D] Bonnie Jeannie or Bethelme was the Fleur-O-Thon
Down came Jeannie Gordon, she came tripping down the stairs
She's chosen Glynn [Am] Logie, among all [G] that was there
Oh [D] Glynn Logie, oh Glynn Logie
And you'll prove kind, my love is laid on you
[A] And I've told you [D] my mouths, but [G] he's turning [D] round lightly
As the Gordon's [G] does, oh, I [D] thank you Jeannie Gordon
[Am] For I'm [D] promised a [D] wall
_ And _ [Am] _ [D] _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _
she's caught to [G] her maidens for to [D] make her [A] a bed
[D] With ribbons and napkins for to tie up her head
And it shouldn't spark her fever, and a wise man was [G] he
[D] I'll adjutate him, fend him, for he's more [G] gout than he
[D] Oh, a hodger-ton feather for that and [A] when I be
[G] Can I [D] get nae Glynn Logie, and for him will I dee
For a feather's a chaplain, a man of great [G] skill
[D] He's right a bread or litter, an indited [G] wheel
[D] Oh, a box on you Logie, now since it is [G] so
There's a [D] lady's love is on you, [A] must she [D] die in her woe
And a [G] box on [D] you Logie, now since it is time
[G] There's a [D] lady's love is on you, must she die in her pride
And _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] when [G] Logie got the letter, [D] he'd been a man meant
[G] It shouldn't [D] spark Glynn Logie, for his [A] young [D] women me
When [G] he looked [D] on the letter, then a light laugh gave he
[G] A tear [D] here and a writ, [A] well a [D] tear [G] Glynn, tears [D] he
Gave sign on me, the black horse, gave sign on me, the brown
[G] [D] Horny genie, oh Bethel, me, will be dee there I win
But [G] the horses [D] weren't a saddle, nor a [A] lead on the [G] green
[D] Till bonnie Glynn Logie was three [G] miles his way
[D] _
And _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ _ _ _ so pale and [G] wan was [D] she, when Glynn Logie [A] he come [Dm] in
But [G] it's red and [D] rosy, blue she, when she came to his hand
[G] Where lies [D] your pain, lady, does it lie in your side?
[G] Where lies [D] your pain, lady, does it lie in your [G] head?
[D] Oh no, [G] no Glynn Logie, [D] you're far [A] from the bed
[G] For the pain that [D] I'll have, it lies in my head
[G] Turn [D] round, genie Gordon, turn round on your side
[G] And I'll [D] be the bridegroom, and you'll be the bride
_ [A] And _ [G] _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] now genie's gotten [G] married, [D] and our talkers done told
[G] Bonnie genie, [D] oh Bethel, me, was [A] scarce [D] sixteen years old
Oh Bethel, me, oh Bethel, me, you shine where you stand
And the heather bells are in you, shine our baby's land
