[Intro]
Dm If you're heading down to Camden Town G Dm Be sure to raise a toast A To the patron saint of the waifs and strays
(let A ring out) Dm
To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Verse 1]
A Dm Once she was a fresh-faced lass, from Kentish Town she came A Dm Her people, they were pedlars, Jinny Bingham was her name G Dm With her husband Gypsy George a Camden coach house they did keep E A Till they hung him by his neck from Tyburn Tree for stealing sheep A Dm It broke her heart to lose her love when she was just a child A Dm So a man named Derby took the hand of Jinny meek and mild G Dm He was a drinker, not a thinker, daily brought his wife to tears
E (riff 1)
Until one Camden winter morning, Derby simply disappeared
[Chorus]
Dm If you're heading down to Camden Town G Dm Be sure to raise a toast A To the patron saint of the waifs and strays Dm To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Verse 2]
A Dm She earned her reputation on those bitter Camden streets A Dm If you'd tarry with the Bingham girl, you'd hold your manhood cheap G Dm But even so the miser Pitcher was the third man on her lips E A Till one night they checked her oven, found him burned up to a crisp A Dm They tried her for his murder, thought they'd finally cooked her goose A Dm But even when the next man died, Jinny somehow slipped the noose G Dm He was a fugitive from justice, for love she took him in
E (riff 1)
But he beat her once to often and the poison did him in
[Chorus]
Dm If you're heading down to Camden Town G Dm Be sure to raise a toast A To the patron saint of the waifs and strays Dm To Jinny Bingham's ghost
[Bridge]
(all chords palm muted)
F The locals didn't like her, false words followed her around Em They called her wicked woman, sorceress of some reknown G They swore that on the gravestones of her husbands she'd grown rich E A The ribald and the righteous, they knew she was a witch F But the reason she was hated was a simple one indeed Em She had kindness for the careless, she took in those in need G The guilty and the gamblers, the harlots and the whores E A All knew that Jinny offered sanctuary at her bar Bb C No judgement for the judged, and you can never fall too far
[Interlude]
(riff 2)
[Verse 4]
A Dm On the day she died, they swore they saw the devil by her side A Dm A mob broke down her door and from her chair her body pried G Dm The tavern is still standing, it's now called the Underworld
E ( riff 3 )
And it still offers sanctuary for all broken boys and girls
[Chorus]
Dm So let's head on down to Camden Town G Dm And folks, let's raise a toast A To the patron saint of the waifs and strays Dm To Jinny Bingham's ghost
