Am G As I walked down to St. James' Hospital,Am G E St. James Hospital early one day,Dm Am G There I spied my only daughterAm G Em Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay. [Chorus]Am G So beat your drums and play the fife lowly,Am G E And play the dead march as you carry me along;Dm Am G Em Take me to the churchyard and lay the sod over me,Am G Em I am a young maid and I know I've done wrong. [Verse 2]Am G Once in the street I used to look handsome;Am G E Once In the street I used to dress gay;Dm Am G Em First to the ale house, then to the dance hallAm G Em Then to the poor house and now to my grave. [Chorus]Am G So beat your drums and play the fife lowly,Am G E And play the dead march as you carry me along;Dm Am G Em Take me to the churchyard and lay the sod over me,Am G Em I am a young maid and I know I've done wrong. [Verse 3]Am G Send for the preacher to pray o'er my body,Am G E Send for the doctor to heal up my wounds,Dm Am G Em Send for the young man I first fell in love with,Am G Em That I might see him before I pass on. [Chorus]Am G So beat your drums and play the fife lowly,Am G E And play the dead march as you carry me along;Dm Am G Em Take me to the churchyard and lay the sod over me,Am G Em I am a young maid and I know I've done wrong. [Verse 4]Am G Let six pretty maidens with a bunch of red roses,Am G E Six pretty maidens to sing me a song,Dm Am G Em Six pretty maidens with a bunch of red rosesAm G Em To lay on my coffin as they carry me along.
