[VERSE]
[D]A sailor and his true love
Lay [G]doon tae mak their[A] moan
[D]When in by came, ain[G] o their country[A]man
Sayin’ rise [G]up my bonny [A]lassie
Make [D]haste and come a[G]wa
There’s a [D]vessel lying [A]bound for Cale[G]donia

[D]Oh said the sailor, are ye [G]willing for tae [A]pay
[D]Five hundred guineas
Afore[G] on board ye [A]go?
I’ll[G] pay them plack and [A]farthing
A [D]fore on board I [A]go
If ye’l[D]l tak me tae me [A]bonny Cale[G]donia

[D]Oh said the sailor her[G] money we will [A]take
And w[D]hen we’re on the sea
We’ll[G] throw her over [A]deck
Or [G]sell her for a [A]slave
[D]Lang ere she win [A]ava
And [D]she’ll nere see her [A]bonny Cale[G]donia

[D]Well said the captain, well[G] that’ll never[A] do
For[D] there are nae slaves sold
in [G]tae our country n[A]ow
They’d [G]hang us one and[A] a’
They [Bm]would hang us every [A]man
If w[D]e sold her for a [A]slave to Cale[G]donia

[D]Well said the sailor she’s[G] lying doon [A]below
She’s [D]bound hand and foot
Ready [G]overboard to [A]throw
She’s[G] bound hand and[A] foot
Ready [Bm]overboard to [A]throw
And s[D]he’ll nae see her [A]bonny Cale[G]donia

So [D]away the captain, tae the [G]fair maid he has [A]gone
Saying [D]what is the reason
That ye’re [G]lying here sae [A]lang
An’ [G]what is the [A]reason
That ye’re [Bm]lying here at [A]all?
For you’ve [D]paid your passage [A]dear tae Cale[G]donia

Oh [D]said the lassie, [G]oh woe is [A]me
That [Bm]ever I was [D]born
Sich [G]hardships for tae [A]see
For the [Bm]sailor's got a [A]lassie
He [D]likes better far than [A]me
And [D]it causes me to [A]weep for Cale[G]donia

So [D]away the captain, tae the [G]sailor he has [A]gone
He’s [Bm]ta‘en him by the [D]neck
And over[G]board, him has [A]thrown
Saying [G]tak this cup o’ [A]water
Though the [Bm]liquor be but [A]small
And [D]drink your lassie’s [A]health tae Cale[G]donia

[Bm] [C] [Bm] [C]

[Bm]They’ve sailed [C]east and [Bm]they’ve sailed [C]west
Until [Bm]they reached the [D]land
That [Bm]they a’ loved the [A]best
For the [Bm]winds they did [A]roar
And the [Bm]seas they did [D]beat
And [Bm]they’ve all arrived [A]safe to Cale[G]donia

Well [D]they hadna been there
But three [G]quarters of a [A]year
When [Bm]in fine silks and [D]satin
He’s [G]made her for tae [A]wear
When [G]in fine silks and [A]satins
He’s [Bm]made her for tae [A]go
For [D]she’s the [Bm]captain’s [A]wife in Cale[G]donia
Now [Bm]she’s the [D]captain’s [A]wife in Caled[G]onia
