[Verse 1]
C Bb
I am a queen's daughter, I come from Aberdeen
C D G
In search of Lord Gregory, pray god I find him
C Bb
The rain beats on my yellow head, the dew wets my skin
C D G
My wee babe's cold in my arms, Lord Gregory, let me in
[Verse 2]
C Bb
Lord Gregory, he is not here, I swear, can't be seen
C D G
He's gone to bonny Scotland for to bring home a fair queen
C Bb
So leave now these portals and likewise this hall
C D G
For it's deep in the sea, you should find you downfall
[Verse 3]
C Bb
Oh, don't you remember, love, that night in Aberdeen
C D G
When we exchanged rings, love, and I against my will
C Bb
Yours was pure silver and mine was but tin
C D G
Yours cost a guinea and mine but a pin
[Verse 4]
C Bb
My curse on you, Mother, my curse being sore
C D G
I dreamed that my true love come a knocking at the door
C Bb
Lie down now, my foolish son, lie down and sleep
C D G
Twas only a servant girl lies drowned in the deep
[Verse 5]
C Bb
Go saddle my black horse, the brown or the bay
C D G
Go saddle the fastest horse in my stable this day
C Bb
I'll ride over mountains and valleys so wide
C D G
I'll find the girl that I love and ride by her side
