Verse:
     BB  A augmentedA     E MajorE
I hung my harp upon the willows
       BB  A augmentedA      E MajorE
When I first made this harbour town
     BB  A augmentedA     E MajorE
My broken heart by fair Eliza
        BB A augmentedA        E MajorE
Still fresh and raw when I came to town

      BB  A augmentedA     E MajorE
I learned a trade from Alexander
      BB   A augmentedA    E MajorE
A augmentedA scoundrel of the first degree
        BB  A augmentedA      E MajorE
And within the year I was so despondent
      BB   A augmentedA      E MajorE
That Doctor Fleeming well knew me

Chorus:
     A/BA/B        E MajorE
Oh Eglinton floating on the water
     A/BA/B           E MajorE
Oh Eglinton the rose was there for me
     BB  A augmentedA       E MajorE
I hung my harp high upon the willows
     BB  A augmentedA    E MajorE
Of Irvine town by the sea

BB A augmentedA E MajorE (x2)

Verse:
    BB  A augmentedA      E MajorE
On Hogmanay I burned the work down
      BB A augmentedA     E MajorE
I found myself without a crown
       BB  A augmentedA     E MajorE
Oh but I had more than any silver
        BB   A augmentedA      E MajorE
'Cause I had a friend in Richard Brown
    BB  A augmentedA     E MajorE
In Eglinton wood we'd wander
        BB   A augmentedA     E MajorE
On the Drukken steps I would recite
     BB  A augmentedA       E MajorE
Take your harp down from the willows
       BB  A augmentedA      E MajorE
Said Richard Brown and he was right

Chorus:
     A/BA/B        E MajorE
Oh Eglinton floating on the water
     A/BA/B           E MajorE
Oh Eglinton the rose was there for me
     BB  A augmentedA       E MajorE
I took my harp down from the willows
    BB   A augmentedA    E MajorE
Richard Brown I bow to thee

Outro:
    A/BA/B      E MajorE
Richard Brown I bow to thee
    A/BA/B      E MajorE
Richard Brown I bow to thee
