Bold Jamie

Am C "Oh rise up my darling and come with me G Am G Am I want to go with you and leave this country Am C To leave my fathers dwelling, this house and the land G Am G Am So away goes Jamie with his love in his arms Am C They go over hills and the mountains and glens G Am G Am Traveling all through the night in the mist in the rain Am C But her father has followed and has taken his men G Am G Am And he captured poor Jamie with his love in his arms Am C Now home she was taken to her room she is bound G Am G Am While poor Jamie lies on the cold stoney ground Am C And he knows all the while before the judge he will stand G Am G Am For the stealing of nothing but his own true love's hand Am C G Am G Am Am C G Am G Am Am C In the cold hard iron his hands they are bound G Am G Am Handcuffed like a murderer and tied to the ground Am C And the jailer tells Jamie "last night I did hear G Am G Am That your Lady will hang you or else set you clear" Am C The judge says "this young girl being tender in youth G Am G Am If the Jamie is guilty she will tell the truth" Am C Then the radiant beauty before him did stand G Am G Am "Oh I'm happy to see you my bold Irish lad" Am C But the father cries out "Lord have pity on me G Am G Am For the man came to bring disgrace to my family Am C And he stole my only daughter, all part of his plan G Am G Am And if you don't hang him I will quit the land" Am C G Am G Am Am C G Am G Am Am C But the daughter is crying and begging is she G Am G Am "The fault isn't Jamie's the blame lies with me Am C I forced him to leave and run away with me G Am G Am And I'll die if I can't save my bold Jamie" Am C "Good Lord he has stole all her jewels and her rings G Am G Am Gold watches and amber, all my precious things Am C And it´s cost me a fortune in thousands of pounds G Am G Am And I'll take the life of Jamie before I lie in the ground Am C "Good Lord dad I gave them as a token of love G Am G Am An when we are parted I'll have them removed Am C But a true lovers token wear on your right hand G Am G Am And think of me darling when you're in a foreign land" Am C G Am G Am Am C G Am G Am
