SCaying Jeannie you're Gtrying the tricks of a whoCre
YGou care nothing Dfor a man who cares Emso very much for Bmthee
YCou must marry LGord Salton and leave ACnachie
FGor AnachiDe Gordon, he's bEmarely but a manBm  
AClthough he may be prGetty but where are his landCs?
GOh the Sulton's lands Dare broad and Emhis towers they run highBm  
YCou must marry Lord SulGton and leave AnachieC  
GWith Anachie Gordon AmI'd beg for my breadBm  
CAnd before I'll Gmarry Sulton it's gold to my heaCd
GWith gold Dto my head and Emgowns fringed to the knBmee
ACnd I'll die if GI don't get me love AnCachie
GAnd you that are my Dparents to Emchurch you may Bmme bring
CBut unto Lord Sulton GI'll never bear a Cson
GTo a son oDr a daughter, IEm'll never bow my kneBme

GCome to bed now JeaAnnie me honey and my Bmsweet
CFor to style you my miGstress it would be so sweeCt
GBe it mistress oDr Jeannie iEmt's all the same tBmo me
CBut in your bed Lord SuGlton I never wCill lie
GAnd down came her Dfather and he's Emspoken with reBmknown
CSaying you Gthat are her maidens go looseDn off her gownsG  
GBut she fell down tDo the floor so cEmlose down by hiBms knee
CSaying father look I'm Gdying for me love AnachCie
GThe day that Jeannie maAmrried was the day that JeBmannie died
CAnd the day that young GAnachie came home on the Ctide
GAnd down came heDr maidens all wriEmnging of their handsBm

CAnd take me to the chaGmber that me love she lies Cin
GAnd he's kissed Dher cold lips till his heart Emhas turned to stBmone
CAnd he's died in the chGamber that his love she Clies in
