Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys

Tonicht she'll hae but three

There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton

Oh little did my mother think

The day she cradled me
  FF    G+G    E minorEm   C majorC
The lands I was tae travel in

Oh tie a napkin round my e'en

No let me see to die
  FF    G+G    E minorEm   C majorC
And send nae word tae my dear mother
   A minorAm    G+G     C majorC
Who's far awa' o'er the sea

C majorC               FF    C majorC
But I wish I could lie in oor ain kirk yard
      E minorEm    G+G
Beneath yon old oak tree
     FF     G+G
Where we pulled the rowans
  E minorEm     C majorC
And strung the gowans
  A minorAm      G+G      C majorC
My brothers and sisters and me

C majorC              FF  C majorC
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys

C majorC            FF     C majorC
But why should I fear a nameless grave
          E minorEm  G+G
When I've hopes for eternity
     FF       G+G    E minorEm   C majorC
And I'll pray that the faith o'dying quick
  A minorAm      G+G     C majorC
Be given through grace to me

Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys

Tonicht she'll hae but three
