Barbara Dickson - The Rigs O' Rye
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
C7 F
'Twas in the month o' sweet July
C F G
Before the sun had pierced the sky
Em C7 F C
'Twas in between the rigs o' rye
C7 F G C
That I heard twa lovers a-talkin'
[VERSE 2:]
C7 F
The lad said, "Lass I must away
C F G
I have no longer time to stay
Em C F C
Ah, but I've got word or two to say
C7 F G C
If you've the time to tarry"
[VERSE 3:]
C7 F
"Your father loves you, he takes great care
C F G
Your mother combs down your yellow hair
Em C7 F C
But your sisters say that ye'll get nae share
C7 F G C
If ye gang wi' me, a stranger"
[VERSE 4:]
C7 F
"Let my father fret and my mother curse
C F G
My sisters' words I do disown
Em C7 F C
For if they were deid and below the ground
C7 F G C
I would gang wi' ye, a stranger"
[VERSE 5:]
C7 F
It's then she chanced to see his linen fine
C F G
He's dried her tears and he kissed her syne
Em C7 F C
Sayin' "Lassie, lassie, ye shall be mine
C7 F G C
I said it all to try thee"
[VERSE 6:]
C7 F
This laddie being of courage bold
C F G
A lad scarcely nineteen years old
Em C7 F C
He's ranged the hills and the valleys o'er
C7 F G C
And he's ta'en his lassie wi' him
[VERSE 7:]
C7 F
This couple they got married noo
C F G
And they hae bairnies, one and two
Em C7 F C
They live at Brechin the winter through
C7 F G C
And in Montrose in the summer
