[Verse 1]
C F
I am a cobbler's daughter
C G
I'm thought of rude and mean
C F
But a finer and a bonnier lass

You have never seen

I've plagued my father's head
C G
For my life I wouldn't wed
C F C F C F
And my mother's in the prison 'cause of me
[Verse 2]
C F
There was a handsome young man
C G
Who used to live by me
C F
If I went out, if I went in

He'd always follow me
C F
I never done rue the day
C G
And it happened as I say
C F C F C F
I took him to me chamber to see
[Verse 3]
C F
I took him to me chamber
C G
Where we could be alone

And knowing that me mother

And me father were at home
C F
He kissed me on the cheek
C G
And I screamed 'til I was weak
C F C F
Me father came a running to the door
[Verse 4]

As I was standing by

Me mother heard the din

Up the stairs she did begin

With a broom for a weapon she held high

Out ran the young man

She's hit him on the head
C G
And the young man fell like lead
C F C F
Quite dead upon the floor he lay
[Verse 6]
