Fannie Moore chords

[VERSE 1]
[D]Yonder stands a cottage, [G]deserted and a[D]lone
It's [G]paths are ne[D]glected with [A]grass [G]over[D]grown
Go [D]in and you will see some dark [G]stains on the [D]floor
A[G]las it is the [D]blood of [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore

[VERSE 2]
To [D]Fannie, so blooming, two [G]lovers they [D]came
One [G]offered young [D]Fannie his [A]wealth [G]and his [D]name
But [D]neither his money nor his [G]pride could se[D]cure
a [G]place in the [D]heart of [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore

[VERSE 3]
The [D]first was young Randall, so [G]bold and so [D]proud
Who [G]to the fair [D]Fannie his [A]heart [G]he had [D]vowed
But his [D]wealth and his house both [G]failed to al[D]lure
the [G]heart from the [D]bosom of [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore

[VERSE 4]
The [D]next was young Henry of [G]lowest de[D]gree
He [G]won her fond [D]love and en[A]rap[G]tured was [D]he
And [D]then at the alter, he [G]quickly did se[D]cure
The [G]hand with the [D]heart of [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore

[VERSE 5]
As [D]she was alone in her [G]cottage one [D]day
When [G]business had [D]called her fond [A]hus[G]band a[D]way
Young [D]Randall, a hotty, came [G]in at the [D]door
And [G]clasped in his [D]arms the [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore

[VERSE 6]
Oh, [D]spare me, oh, spare me, the young [G]Fannie [D]cries
While [G]tears swiftly [D]flow from her [A]beau[G]tiful [D]eyes
[D]"Oh no," cries young Randall, "go [G]home to your [D]rest,"
And he [G]buried his [D]knife in her [A]snowy [G]white [D]breast

[VERSE 7]
So [D]Fannie, so blooming, in her [G]bright beauty [D]died
Young [G]Randall, a [D]hotty, was [A]taken[G] and [D]tried
At [D]length he was hung on a [G]tree at the [D]door
For [G]shedding the [D]blood of [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore

[VERSE 8]
Young [D]Henry, the shepard, [G]distracted and [D] ...
Did [G]wander a[D]way from his [A]own [G]native [D]farm
Till at [D]length claimed by death, he was [G]brought to the [D]shore
and [G]layed by the [D]side of [A]fair [G]Fannie [D]Moore [D]
