[E] [A]
[D] The king had been [A] a [E] prisoner, [D] and a [E] prisoner long [D] in spades,
And William, [A] the [F#m] Winsbury, [E] is laying [A] along with his daughter, [D] Tom.
What ails you, what [A] ails you, my daughter, [E]
Janet?
[D] Why you look [E] so pale and [D] wan?
[A] Have you had [D] any sore [A] [F#m]
sickness?
[E] Oh, you have [A] been slipping with [D] the man.
I have not had [A] any sore [E] sickness.
[D] Oh, you have [E] been slipping [D] with the man.
It [A]
[D] is for you, [A] my father [F#m]
dear,
[E] For biding [A] so long [D] in spades.
Cast off, cast off [A] your berry [E]-brown gown,
[D] Stand naked [E]
[D] on the stone,
[A] That I [D] may know you [A] by [F#m] your shade.
[E] If you [A] be a maiden [D]
or nun,
Thus she cast off [A] her berry [E]-brown gown,
[D] Stood [E] naked on [D] the stone.
[A] Her apron [D] was low, her [F#m] ranches grown,
[E] Her face [A] was [D] pale and wan.
Was it with the Lord, [A] or a duke, [E] or a knight,
[D] Or a [E] man of earth [D] and faith?
[A] Or was [D] it with one of [A] my [F#m] serving men,
[B] Slightly [A] mad [D] as I?

No, [D]
it wasn't with the [A] Lord, or a duke, or [E] a knight,
[D] Nor a man [E] of earth [D] and faith,
[A] But it was [D] with Willie [A] of [F#m] Winsbury.
[B] I could lie [A] no longer [D] lying,
The king has [A] called on his merry [E] men all,
[D] By thirty [E] in [D] my three,
Then [A] fetch me [D] this Willie [A] of [F#m] Winsbury,
[E] For hence [A] he shall [D] be.
But when he came [A] to king [E] before,
[D] He was quite [B] old and red [D]-silved,
[A] His [D] hair was like [A] the strands [F#m] of gold,
His [E]
skin [A] was as white [D] as the mill.
And it is no [A] wonder, said the [E] king,
[D] That my [E]
daughter's love you did win,
[A] For if I [D] was a woman, [A] as I [F#m] am a man,
My bedfellow [A]
you would [D] have been.
Now will you [A] marry my daughter [E] Janet?
By [D] the truth [E] of your [D] right hand.
[A] Now will [D] you marry [A] my daughter [F#m] Janet?
[E] I'll make [A] you lord [D] of my land.
Well yes, I'll marry your [E] daughter Janet,
[D] By the truth [E] of my [D] right hand.
[A] Well [D] yes, I'll marry [A] your daughter [F#m] Janet,
But [E] I'll not [A] be the lord of [D] your land.
His mouth hath heard [A] on a male of [E]
white's dude,
[D] And himself [E] on a temple [D] grave.
[A] His maid, [D] or the lady [A] of as much [F#m] as land,
[E] Shall ride [A] in the long [D] summer's day.
