Steeleye Span – Creeping Jane (Guitar)

D
I'll sing you a song and a very pretty one

           G        A
Concerning Creeping Jane

    D           G          D
She never saw a mare nor a gelding in her life

         G             D                    A       D
That she valued at the worth of half a pin, lal the day

              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

         G             D                    A       D
That she valued at the worth of half a pin, lal the day

D
When Creeping Jane on the racecourse came

              G            A
The gentlemen giggled all around

    D               G       D
And all they had to say, concerning little Jane

          G           D                       A       D
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground, lal the day

              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

          G           D                       A       D
She's not able for to gallop o'er the ground, lal the day

D
Now when that they came to the second milepost

        G     A
She was far behind

         D               G     D
Then the rider flung his whip around her little neck

       G                D                  A       D
And he says, "Me little lady, never mind", lal the day

              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

       G                D                  A       D
And he says, "Me little lady, never mind", lal the day

D
Now when that they came to the third milepost

           G          A
She looked blithe and smart

    D               G      D
And then she lifted up her lily-white hoof

    G              D                A       D
And flew past them all like a dart, lal the day

              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

        G              D                A       D
And she flew past them all like a dart, lal the day

D
Now Creeping Jane the race has won

             G         A
And scarcely sweat one drop

      D           G               D
She's able for to gallop o'er the ground all again

    G              D                 A       D
The others are not able for to trot, lal the day

              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

    G              D                 A       D
The others are not able for to trot, lal the day

D
Now Creeping Jane is dead and gone

              G           A
Her body lies on the cold ground

     D              G           D
I'll go down to her master, one favour for to beg

   G               D                     A       D
To keep her little body from the hounds, lal the day

              A   D
Diddle lol de day-o

   G               D                     A       D
To keep her little body from the hounds, lal the day

A       D
Lal the day

A       D
Lal the day
