I am a King's daughter come straight from Cappoquin

The babe is cold in my arms, love, Lord Gregory let me in

Yours was the purest gold and mine but false tin
  F               C               Bb                   C
Yours it cost a guinea, love, but aye, 'twas false within

I have built a bonny boat all covered with pearl

And at every needle tuck in it there hangs a silver bell

For it's deep in the sea I will find my downfall
