_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] Oh he [E] sits in his stable door and he's combing his cold black steed
[C] He's doubting [F] on fair Margaret's love and his heart begins to bleed
[C] Fetch corn unto [F] me horse mother and me to my man John
[C]
And I'll [F] await fair Margaret's bow before the night comes [C] on
Stay at home with me dear Willie oh stay at home with me
And the very best cock in all the roost your own supper will be
[A] Of all your [F] cocks and all your roosts have you not a pen
And I'll await fair Margaret's bow before the night comes in
Well if you go to fair Margaret's [C] bow without the leave of me
In the deepest part of the Clyde water then drowned you will be
[Am] Oh the good [F] steed that I ride upon cost me thrice thirty [A] pounds
And [F] I'll put trust in his swift feet to take me safe and [C] sound
He's ridden on high high hill and down yon dowry den
And the rushing in the Clyde water would have feared five hundred [Am] men
Oh [F] roaring Clyde you roar so [Am] loud his streams are wondrous strong
[Am] Make me a [C] rag as I come [Am] back spare me [C] as I'm gone
When [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
he's got [F] fair Margaret's bow [C] he's held low [F] on the pen
[C] Rise up rise [F] up may [C] Margaret rise up and let [Am] me in
Oh who [F] is this at me bow door calling may Margaret's [Am] name
Oh it's only a first love a little Willie and this night come to her [C] home
Open [F] the gates this night oh open [F] and let me [C] in
Stay [F] afar of the Clyde water [C] and I'm frozen to the [Am] skin
My barns are full of corn, Willie and his stable's full of hay
And me boughs are full of gentlemen they won't [F] remove till day
[C] Fare thee [F] well to you may [C] Margaret, fare [F] thee well hand it you
For I have unworn my mother's own curse by coming this night to you
He's ridden on high high hill and down yon dowry den
And the rushing in the Clyde water took Willie's hat [C] from him
He's leaned him over [C] his saddle bow to catch his hat again
And the rushing in the Clyde water took Willie's cane from him
He's leaned him [F] over his saddle [Am] bow to catch his [C] cane by [Am] force
The rushing [D] in the Clyde [C] water took Willie [D] from his [Am] horse

_ _ _ _ _ The very hour this young man sank into the pot so deep
Upon a walk Miss May Margaret out from her dreary sleep
Come here come here my mother [Am] dear read to me [C] my dream
I dream my love was [Am] at her gate and [C] no one let him in
Lie there lie there my [F] May Margaret lie there [F] and take your rest
[C] For since your love [F] was at her gate [C] it's but two quarters past
[A]
Nimbly [F] nimbly rose she up to the water's brim
[A] And the louder [F] that this young girl [Am] cried the louder [F] grew the wind
[C] The very [G] first step that she [C] went in she's up onto [F] her feet
[C] And it's on us this young girl cried your [F] water's wondrous deep
[Am] Oh the very [F] next step that she went in she's up onto her knees
Cried she I would go farther [Am] in if I met [F] your love I could [C] see
The [F] next step that she [C] went in she's up onto her chin
In the deepest part of the Clyde water she found sweet William [Am] Inn
Saying [C] you've had [Em] all the rain and [F] I have had none
[Am]
And [F] now we'll sleep in the [Am] Clyde water like [F] sister and like brother
_ _ _ _ _ Saying [Dm] you've had all [Em] the rain and I have [G] had none
[A] And now we'll sleep in the Clyde water like sister [F] and like brother _ _ _
