[Verse]
Em A
There was a lady lived in York
G A
She stabbed her baby to the heart
Em A
She drew a scarf from off her head
G A
She bound the baby's hands and legs
[Verse]
Em A
She drew a knife, long and sharp
G A
She stabbed the baby to the heart
Em A
She wiped the knife upon the grass
G A
The more she wiped, the blood ran fast
[Verse]
Em A
As she was going to her father's hall
G A
She saw three children playing at ball
Em A
One in silk, the other in satin
G A
The other was naked as ever was born
[Verse]
Em A
"Oh, dear child, if you were mine
G A
I'd dress you in silk and satins so fine"
Em A
"Oh, mother dear, I once was thine
G A
You never would dress me, coarse or fine"

"Mother, mother, for your sins
G A
Heaven you shall not enter
Em A
There is fire beyond Hell's gate
G A
And there you'll burn forever"
