child 100

Anais Mitchell

Capo 3

C G D
The king has been a prisoner

C D C
And a prisoner long in Spain

G C G Em
And Willie O the Winsbury

C D C
Has lain long with his daughter Jane.

C G D
What ails you, what ails you, my daughter Jane

C D C
Why you look so pale and wan?

G C G Em
Have you had any ill sickness

C D C
Or yet been sleeping with a man?

C G D
I have not had any ill sickness

C D C
Nor yet been sleeping with a man

G C G Em
It is for you my father dear

C D C
For biding so long in Spain.

C G D
Cast off, cast off, your robe and gown

C D C
Stand naked on the stone

G C G Em
That I may know you by your shape

C D C
If you be a maiden or none.

C G D
And shes cast off the robe and gown

C D C
Stood naked on the stone

G C G Em
her apron was tight and her waist was round

C D C
Her face was pale and wan.

C G D
And was it with a lord or a gentleman

C D C
Or a man of wealth and fame

G C G Em
Or was it with one of my serving men

C D C
While I was a prisoner in Spain?

C G D
No it wasnt with a lord or a gentleman

C D C
Or a man of wealth and fame

G C G Em
It was with Willie o Winsbury

C D C
I could bide no longer alone.
