Clyde Waters (Child 216)
Anaïs Mitchell, Jefferson Hamer

C F
Willie stands in his stable door

C G7 C
And he's combing his coal black steed

F
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love

C G7 C
And his heart began to bleed

C F
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat

C G7
Help me tie them on

C F
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower

C G7 C
Before the night comes on"

C F
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie

C G7 C
Tonight there comes a storm

F
I'll lay the table handsomely

C G7 C
Your bed be soft and warm"

C F
"Your tables, mother, and your beds

C G7
They cannot bring me rest

C F
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower

C G7 C
Before the night has passed"

C F
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower

C G7 C
My curse will go with thee

F
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water

C G7 C
Drowned you shall be"

C F
"The good steed that I ride upon

C G7
Cost me thrice thirty pounds

C F
I'll put my trust in his swift feet

C G7 C
To take me safe and sound"
