[VERSE]
It fell [C]out u[F]pon one [C]Martinmas [G]time
When [C]snow lay [F]on the [C]border
There came a [F]troop of [C]soldiers [G]here
To take [Am]up their winter [G]quarters

[VERSE]
And [C]they road [F]high and [C]they rode [G]north
And [C]they rode [F]o'er the [C]border
And there they [F]met with a [C]nice, little [G]girl
She [Am]was a farmer's [G]daughter

[VERSE]
'Cause they [C]made her [F]swear a [C]solemn [G]oath
A [C]salt tear [F]in her [C]eye
That she would [F]come to the [C]quarter [G]gates
When [Am]no one would her [G]spy

[VERSE]
But [C]she's gone [F]to the [C]barber's [G]shop
And to the [C]barber's [F]shop went [C]soon
She bade them [F]cut off her [C]long, yellow [G]hair
As [Am]short as any dra[G]goon

[VERSE]
And [C]she's gone [F]to the [C]tailor's [G]shop
And [C]dressed in [F]soldier's [C]clothes
With two long [F]pistols [C]down by her [G]side
A nice little [Am]boy was [G]she

Now you're [Am]not for a girl at [G]all"

The [C]ribbon [F]from her [C]hair-o
She tied them '[F]round the [C]quarter [G]gates
A [Am]token she'd been [G]there-o

[VERSE]
And [C]when they [F]found that [C]it was [G]her
They [C]tried to [F]have her [C]taken
She slapped her [F]spurs to her [C]horse's [G]side
She [Am]galloped home a [G]maiden
