[Verse 1]
D Dsus2 C Asus2
Harking is bonny and there lives my love
Asus2 C Bm G
My heart lies on him and cannot remove
G D Asus2 C D
It cannot remove for all that I have done
D G C Bm D G
And I never will forget my love Anachie
G D Asus2 G D
For Anachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright
D G C D G
He'd entice any woman that e'er he saw
G D Asus2 G Bm
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
G C D G
And I never will forget my love Anachie
[Verse 2]
D Dsus2 C Asus2
Down came her father and he's standing at the door
G C Bm D G
Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore
G D Asus2 G D
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
D G C D G
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie
G D Asus2 G Bm
For Annachie Gordon is barely but a man
Bm G C Bm D G
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands
G D Asus2 D C G
For The Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high
G C Bm G
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie
[Verse 3]
D Dsus2 G Asus2
With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread
Asus2 G C Bm D G
And before I marry Sultan his gold to my head
G D Asus2 G D
With gold to my head and straight down to my knee
D G C Bm D G
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
G D Asus2 G D
And you who are my parents to church you may me bring
D G C Bm G
But unto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son
G D C G D
To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee
D G C D G
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
[Verse 4]
D Dsus2 C Asus2
Jeannie was married and from church was brought home
Asus2 G D G
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
G D Asus2 G Bm
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
Bm G C D G
She goes into her chamber and cries all alone
D Dsus2 C D
Come to my bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet
Bm G C D G
To style you my mistress it would be so sweet
G D Asus2 G D
Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
D G Bm G
But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie
G D Asus2 G D
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
D G D
Saying you who are her maidens
D Asus2 G
Go loosen up her gowns
G D C
And she fell down to the floor
C G D Bm
And straight down to her knee, saying
G Asus2 D G
Father look I'm dying for my love Annachie
[Verse 5]
D Dsus2 C D
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
D G C Bm D G
And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide
G D Asus2 G D
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
D G C Bm D G
Saying oh it's been so long, you've been so long on the sands
G Bm Asus2 G D
So long on the sands, so long on the flood
D G C D G
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead
D Dsus2 C D
You who are her maidens come take me by the hand
D G Asus2 Bm D G
And lead me to the chamber where my love she lies in
G D Asus2 G D
And he kissed her cold lips till his heart it turned to stone
D G C Bm D G
And he died in the chamber where his love she lies in
