Harking is bonnie and there lives my love

My heart lies on him and will not remove

It will not remove oh for all that I have done
C G C
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie

He'd entice any woman that ever he saw

He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
C G C
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie
G Am Bm
Down came her father and he's standing by the door
C G C
Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore
G D Em Bm
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
C G C
You must marry Lord Salton and leave Anachie
G D Em Bm
For Anachie Gordon, he's barely but a man
C G C
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands?
G D Em Bm
Oh the Sulton's lands are broad and his towers they run high
C G C
You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie

And before I'll marry Sulton it's gold to my head
G D Em Bm
With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee
C G C
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
G D Em Bm
And you that are my parents to church you may me bring
C G C
But unto Lord Sulton I'll never bear a son
G D Em Bm
To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee
C G C
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
G Am Bm
Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home
C G C
And when she and her maidens so merry should have been
G D Em Bm
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
C G C
She went into her chambers she cried all alone
G A Bm
Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet
C G C
For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet
G D Em Bm
Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
C G C
But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie
G D Em Bm
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
C G D G
Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns
G D Em Bm
But she fell down to the floor so close down by his knee
C G C
Saying father look I'm dying for me love Anachie
G Am Bm
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
C G C
And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide
G D Em Bm
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
C G C
Saying oh it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands
G D Em Bm
Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood
C G C
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead
G Am Bm
You that are her maidens go take me by the hand
C G C
And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in
G D Em Bm
And he's kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone
C G C
And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in
