Bonnie Bairns Dadgad chords

[D]A lady walked in yon [C]wild wood,
[G]Beneath the holly [D]tree,

[D]It was there she saw two [C]bonnie bairns,
[G]There running at her [D]knee.

[D]And the first she pulled a [C]red, red rose,
[G]With hands as soft as [D]silk,

[D]And the next she pulled a [C]lily pale,
[G]With hands more white than [D]milk.

[D]"Why do you pull th[C]e red, red rose,
[G]And why the lily [D]white?”

[D]"We need them at th[C]e seat of grace,
[G]For the soul of thee [D]tonight.”

[D]"Oh bide with me yo[C]u bonnie bairns,
[G]I’ll dress you rich an[D]d fine,

[D]And for all the blackbirds [C]in the woods,
[G]You’ll eat white bread an[D]d wine."

[D]The stars were shooting [C]to and fro,
[G]But the thorns she did [D]abhor,

[D]As the lady followed the [C]bonnie bairns,
[G]For three long hours and [D]more.

[D]"Where do you dwell yo[C]u bonnie bairns,
[G]I’m woe and wear[D]y grown”,

[D]"We live where woe i[C]t never comes,
[G]In a land to flesh [D]unknown.”

[D]They came unto a [C]tree of beech,
[G]Two names carved in the [D]bark,

[D]"Do you see your name carved her[C]e lady,
[G]The other lies in the [D]dark.”

[D]And she wept in vain and she [C]wept full sore,
[G]For her love laid in the [D]ground,

[D]And she wept until the [C]stars gave way,
[G]’Til the dawn it brought n[D]o sound.
