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
