[VERSE 1]
She was [G]just a parso[C]n's daughter,
Pure, unstyned [D7]was her f[G]yme,
Till a [C]country squire came courtin',
And the [D7]poor girl lorst 'er [G]nyme.
[VERSE 2]
It's the [G]syme the whole [C]world over,
It's the poor what [D7]gets the [G]blyme,
While the [C]rich 'as all the plysures,
Now ain't [D7]that a blinkin' [G]shyme.
[VERSE 3]
So she [G]went aw'y to [C]Lunnon,
Just to 'ide '[D7]er guilty [G]shyme.
There she [C]met another squire,
Once [D7]ag'yn she lorst 'er [G]nyme.
[VERSE 4]
Look at [G]'im with all 'is [C]'orses,
Drinking [D7]champygne in 'is [G]club,
While the [C]wictim of 'is passions
Drinks 'er [D7]Guiness in a [G]pub.
[VERSE 5]
Now e's [G]in 'is ridin' [C]britches,
'Untin' foxes [D7]in the [G]chyse,
While the [C]wictim of 'is folly
Mykes 'er [D7]livin' by 'er [G]wice.
[VERSE 6]
When she [G]tried to go from [C]Lunnon,
Once ag'yn to [D7]'ide 'er [G]shyme,
She was [C]'syved' by an army chaplain,
Once a[D7]g'yn she lorst 'er [G]nyme.
[VERSE 7]
'Ear 'im [G]as 'e jaws the [C]Tommies,
Warnin' o' the [D7]flymes o' [G]'ell.
With 'er [C]'ole 'eart she 'ad trusted,
But ag[D7]'yn she lorst 'er [G]nyme.
[VERSE 8]
So she s[G]ettled down in [C]Lunnon,
Sinkin' deeper [D7]in 'er [G]shyme,
Till she [C]met a lybor leader,
And ag[D7]'yn she lorst 'er [G]nyme.
[VERSE 9]
Now 'e's [G]in the 'ouse of [C]Commons
Mykin' laws to [D7]put down [G]crime,
Wile the [C]wictim o' 'is plysure
Walks the [D7]street each night in [G]shyme.
[VERSE 10]
Then there [G]cyme a bloated [C]bishop.
Marriage [D7]was the tyle 'e [G]told.
There was [C]no one else to tyke 'er,
So she [D7]sold 'er soul for [G]gold.
[VERSE 11]
See 'er [G]in 'er 'orse and [C]carriage,
Drivin' d'yly [D7]through the [G]park.
Though she [C]myde a wealthy marriage,
Still she [D7]'ides a breakin' [G]'eart.
[VERSE 12]
In a [G]cottage down in [C]Sussex
Lives 'er pay[D7]rents old and [G]lyme,
And they [C]drink the wine she sends 'em,
But they [D7]never speaks 'er [G]nyme.
[VERSE 13]
In their [G]poor and 'umble [C]dwelling,
There 'er g[D7]rievin' payrents [G]live.
Drinkin' [C]champygne as she sends 'em
But they [D7]never can for[G]give.
She was [G]just a parso[C]n's daughter,
Pure, unstyned [D7]was her f[G]yme,
Till a [C]country squire came courtin',
And the [D7]poor girl lorst 'er [G]nyme.
