Kate Rusby – John Barbury (Guitar)

Bm               D        A
There was a lady fine and gay,

G             A        G
She looked so neat and trim,

D          A            Bm    D
She went into her own garden-wall,

D           A         G
To see her ships come in.

    Bm                  D        A
And there she spies her daughter Jane,

G             A        G
Who looked so pale and wan:

D              A         Bm    D
'Oh, have you had some long sickness,

D          A               G
Or lain ye with some young man?'

     Bm             D        A
'No, I have had no long sickness,

G             A       G
Nor lain here with a man:'

D              A       Bm  D
Her petticoats they were so short,

D             A        G
She was a nine months gone

D         A           D
She was a nine months gone

  Bm          D        A
'Oh is it by some nobleman

G          A      G
Or by some man of fame

D        A    Bm    D
Or is it by John Barbary

D          A         G
Who lately come from Spain?

Bm          D     A
'No, it is by a nobleman

G         A      G
Nor by no man of fame

 D       A     Bm   D
But it is by John Barbary

D          A         G
Who lately come from Spain.

D          A         D
Who lately come from spain

Bm                   D         A
And she's calld down her merry men,

G          A       G
By one, by two, by three

D            A        Bm  D
John Barbary was once the first,

D            A        G
But now the last came he.

Bm                   D         A
'Oh will you take my daughter Jane,

G          A       G
And wed her out of hand?

D          A            Bm    D
And you will dine and sup with me,

D          A         G
And be heir to all my land.'

Bm                   D         A
'Oh, I will take your daughter Jane,

G          A       G
And wed her out of hand;

D          A            Bm    D
And I will dine and sup with you,

D          A         G
But I do not want your land.'

     Bm             D        A
For I have houses and I have land

G             A       G
And money out by the grand

D              A         Bm    D
And had it not been for your daughter

D           A         G
I'd never be your man,

D         A           D
I'd never be your man
