Young Johnson and the

young Colonel,
C
G

they sat drinking at the wye
G
C
Oh, marry my sister, Johnson he said,
G
Bm
C
and I will marry thine
G
C
G
Your sister I will never wed,
C
G
C
Not for all her golden land,
G
C
But a mistress she will make of me,
G
D
C
When I can bore the strand.
G
C
G
In a rage then Johnson drew his sword,
Em
Which hung down by his knee,
G
And he's pierced it through the
C
young kernel,
G
C
G
C
And we're no more spoken.

Sir Johnson's a rare
C
G
and his milk white steed,
C
G
Em
too, his sister has for me.
G
C
For I have killed a young colonel,
G
D
who you thought had loved thee.
C

Em
If you have killed my own true love,
C
Am
G

then woe be unto thee.
Em
G
C
For I do swear and do declare
Em
D
C
that hanged you shall be
G
So John sent away on his
C
G
milk -white steed
C
D
G
Em
to his true love's house when near
G
C
Oh, I have killed a young Colonel,
D
C
thine only brother is he
Em
C
Em
If you have killed my brother, she said,
C
D
G
Am
then the sad and sore I'll be
Em
C
But together's for the younger now,
G
D
C
and I do feel for Bill
G
C
So come now, my dear Johnson,
G
C
D
G
Em
come in and take your sleep
G
C
While I do walk the castle round,
G
D
C
G
C
G
and careful watch I'll keep
C
D
G
Em
G
C
G
D
C
G
C
She had not walked the castle
G
C
D
G
C
around a minute, but barely three,
G
C
When four twenty -armoured men
G
D
C
came ar riving o 'er the lay.
G
C
Good morning, Margaret,
G
C
D
G
C
good morning, then cried she
G
C
Did you not see a bloody squire
G
D
C
come a -riding by this way?
F
Em
If light brown was his hawk, she said,
Am
D
G
Am
and if dark brown was his hound
Em
F
If no white horse is deadly steed,
C
D
C
then he's new old from the town
D
G
So the knights,
C
G
they sent their spurs to horse,
C
D
G
C
and they turned away from town
G
C
Marked his way to the true love's bar,
G
D
C
to tell him what she found
Em
Am
C
D
G
There Johnson lay in a silent sleep,
D
G
C
and he dreamed a girl were near
G
C
Out is he drawn, his sword so sharp,
G
C
G
C
G
C
D
G
Em
and he's stabbed his lady care.

C
G
What cause were this, my dear Johnson?
C
What cause were this, cried she?
G
Well, I thought it was my
G
C
that you'd entice to me
G
C
But can you live, my dear Margaret,
G
C
till the doctors can be found?
G
How can I live then, Johnson,
G
when the blood comes trickling
C
G
Em
G
Em
D
down?
G
C
G
But take your sword in your hand
C
D
G
C
and ride o 'er yonder plain
G
C
And think no more of thy true love
G
D
C
than if she'd never been
G
C
G
He scarcely had gleaned out of the hall,
C
D
G
C
Still recovered all in four,
G
C
When four with twenty swords so sharp
Em
D
G
Had pinned him to the door.
