[VERSE]
Oh, [G]have you heard Sir James the Rose
The [D]young heir of Loch Laggan
For [Am]he has killed a [Em]gallant squire
And his [C]friends are out to [D]take him

[VERSE]
And [G]he's gone to the House of Marr
The [D]Nurse there did befriend him
And [Am]he has gone u[Em]pon his knees
And [C]begged for her to [D]hide him

[VERSE]
"[G]Where're you going, Sir [C]James?" she [G]said
"[G]Where now are you riding?"
"Oh, [C]I am [G]bound for a [C]foreign land
But [G]now I'm [D]under [G]hiding"

"[C]Where shall I [G]go? [C]Where shall I [G]run?
[C]Where shall I [G]go for to [D]hide me?

And [D]rolled him in the bracken
And [Am]he has gone to [Em]take a sleep
In the [C]lowlands of Loch [D]Laggan

He [G]had not well gone out of sight
Nor [D]was he past Milstrethen
When [Am]four-and-twenty [Em]belted knights
Came [C]riding o'er the [D]leathen

"[G]Have you seen Sir [C]James the [G]Rose
The [G]young heir of Loch Laggan

In the [D]lowlands of Loch Laggan
And [Am]there you'll find Sir [Em]James the Rose
[C]Sleeping in the [D]bracken"

Nor [D]yet must you afright him
Just [Am]run a dart right [Em]through his heart
And [C]through the body [D]pierce him"

We [C]killed him while he's [D]sleeping"

His [C]senses were con[D]founded
