  C           G              C                  G
I am a King's daughter, come straight from Cappoquin
                  D            F         C    G
In search of Lord Gregory, may god, I'll find him
    C                G                 C           G
The rain beats at my yellow locks, the dew wets me still
                       D                F       C      G
The babe is cold in my arms, love, Lord Gregory let me in
    C                G                  C                G
The rain rains on my good clothing, the dew stands on my chin
                       D                F       C      G
The babe is cold in my arms, love, Lord Gregory let me in

Do you remember, love Gregory, that night in Cappoquin?
             D                 F            C  G
We exchanged handkerchiefs and sore against my will
    C                 G                C               G
For yours it was fine linen, love, and mine but course cloth
                 D                 F        C   G
Yours, it cost a guinea, love, and mine but one groat
         C            G           C             G
Do you remember, love Gregory, as we sat at the wine?
             D          F            C   G
We exchanged rings, and aye the best was thine
    C                G               C              G
For yours it was the purest gold and mine but false tin
                 D                 F                C   G
Yours, it cost a guinea, love, but aye, 'twas false within
         C            G             C                    G
Do you remember, love Gregory, that night in my father's hall?
                  D               F                C  G
You stole away my maidenhead, and that's the worst of all

Lord Gregory is not here and he henceforth can't be seen
                       D                 F        C   G
For he's gone to bonny Scotland to bring home his new queen
     C              G           C          G
Lord Gregory is not here and he lately has gone
                   D           F         C         G
He's gone to bonny Scotland to bring his new bride home
   C               G           C             G
So leave now these windows and likewise this hall
                     D            F         C   G
For it's deep in the sea you will find your downfall
      C                  G                   C              G
She's took her young son in her arms, turned from that cold hall
                     D           F        C   G
Saying, "Deep in the sea we will find our downfall"
