[Chorus]
E B [tab] A E A stranger I came A B E I courted a fair maid A E And Nancy was her name
[Verse 2]
E B I courted her for love A E Her love I didn't obtain A B E Do you think I've any reason A E Or right to complain
[Verse 3]
E B I rode to see my Nancy A E I rode both night and day A B E I stoled a fine stallion A E From Colonel Charles Grey
[Verse 4]
E B I rode to see my Nancy A E I rode both day and night A B E I courted fairest Nancy A E My own heart's true delight
[Verse 5]
E B The sheriff's men they followed A E And overtaken me A B E They carted me away A E To the penitentiary
[Verse 6]
E B They opened up the door A E And then they threw me in A B E They shaved off my hair A E And they cleared off my chin
[Verse 7]
E B They beat me and they banged me A E And they fed me on dry beans A B E 'Til I wished to my own soul A E I'd never been a thief
[Verse 8]
E B With my hands stuck in my pockets A E And my cap set on so bold A B E My coat of many colors A E Like Joseph's of old
[Chorus]
E B When first unto this country A E A stranger I came A B E I courted a fair maid A E And Nancy was her name
