Chords for Highland Widow's Lament sung by Lorna Campbell

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Why he come to the low country, _ Ocon, Ocon, Ocree, _ _
With out a penny in my purse to buy a meal to me.

_ [D] It was [F#m] nursing [C#] in the [A] heathen's [F#m] house, [D] Ocon, [A] Ocon, [G] _
[A] Ocree,
_ [D] No [F#m] _ [Bm] woman's [D] country wife [G] so happy [D] _ [Em] was as _
[A] me.
_ _ _ [D] For there [F#m] I [Em] had a score [A] of [D] kine, Ocon, [A] _ [G] Ocon, [A] Ocree,
_ [D] _ _
[A] Feeding on [Bm] young hell's high, [G] and giving [D] _ [Em] milk to me.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] And [F#m] there I had [C#] to ask [A] for a youse, [D] _ Ocon, [A] [G] Ocon, [A] Ocree,
_ [D] _ [F#m] Skipping on [Bm] young [A] bonnie knaps, [Em] and [F#m] casting [Em] wool to me.
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ [D] I [F#m] was the [G] happiest o'er [A] the clan, [D] sir, [A] sir, may I [G] _ [A] repan,
_ [D] For [C#] Donald [Bm] was the [D] bravest man, [G] and [F#m] Donald [Bm] he [Em] was _ [A] mine.
[Em] _ _
[A] _ [D] There's [F#m] nothing [Em] left to me [A] of _ [D] Ocon, [A] Ocon, [G] Ocree,
[A] _ [D] But [F#m] bonnie [Bm] Ocon laddies to [G] seek [D] their [Em] breed with _
[A] me.
_ _ _ [D] There's [F#m] only a [C#] blink of hope [A] left [D] till I'm [A] in my [G] alley,
[A] _ [D] To see [F#m] my [C#] [Bm] Bansky bloody [A] _ [G] crowns to them [F#m] Jack [Em] Donald _ [A] _ _ dee.
_ _ [D] Ocon, [F#m] Ocon, [Em] _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ [G] Ocree, _
[A] _ [D] No [F#m] woman's [C#] _ [B] world [A] [G] quite so [F#m] wretched [Em] now as me.
