G+G           A minorAm        B minorBm
Harking is bonnie and there lives my love
 C majorC       G+G            C majorC
My heart lies on him and will not remove
G+G     D MajorD       E minorEm           B minorBm
It will not remove oh for all that I have done
 C majorC       G+G           C majorC
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie
G+G         D MajorD      E minorEm       B minorBm
For Anachie Gordon, he's bonnie and he's rough
C majorC      G+G         C majorC
He'd entice any woman that ever he saw
G+G   D MajorD       E minorEm         B minorBm
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
C majorC      G+G        C majorC
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie

G+G        A minorAm               B minorBm
Down came her father and he's standing by the door
 C majorC          G+G             C majorC
Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore
 G+G       D MajorD          E minorEm        B minorBm
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
 C majorC       G+G           C majorC
You must marry Lord Salton and leave Anachie
 G+G    D MajorD        E minorEm       B minorBm
For Anachie Gordon, he's barely but a man
 C majorC          G+G             C majorC
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands?
G+G          D MajorD       E minorEm            B minorBm
Oh the Sulton's lands are broad and his towers they run high
 C majorC           G+G           C majorC
You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie

G+G          A minorAm         B minorBm
With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread
C majorC        G+G                C majorC
And before I'll marry Sulton it's gold to my head
G+G     D MajorD       E minorEm           B minorBm
With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee
 C majorC       G+G           C majorC
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
G+G         D MajorD      E minorEm       B minorBm
And you that are my parents to church you may me bring
C majorC          G+G         C majorC
But unto Lord Sulton I'll never bear a son
G+G     D MajorD       E minorEm         B minorBm
To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee
C majorC           G+G           C majorC
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie

G+G            A minorAm               B minorBm
Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home
 C majorC          G+G             C majorC
And when she and her maidens so merry should have been
 G+G       D MajorD       E minorEm        B minorBm
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
C majorC        G+G           C majorC
She went into her chambers she cried all alone
G+G         A augmentedA          B minorBm
Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet
C majorC           G+G             C majorC
For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet
G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm        B minorBm
Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
C majorC           G+G       C majorC
But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie

G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm       B minorBm
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
C majorC     G+G              D MajorD       G+G
Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns
G+G         D MajorD        E minorEm       B minorBm
But she fell down to the floor so close down by his knee
C majorC           G+G           C majorC
Saying father look I'm dying for me love Anachie

G+G           A minorAm            B minorBm
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
C majorC           G+G            C majorC
And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide
G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm         B minorBm
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
C majorC              G+G              C majorC
Saying oh it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands
G+G      D MajorD       E minorEm       B minorBm
Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood
C majorC           G+G           C majorC
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead


G+G        A minorAm           B minorBm
You that are her maidens go take me by the hand
C majorC           G+G             C majorC
And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in
G+G        D MajorD              E minorEm        B minorBm
And he's kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone
C majorC           G+G           C majorC
