The Earl Of Aboyne
Tono: Original
[Intro]
Bm F#m Bm F#m7 Bm x2
[Verse]
F#m
Oh, the Earl of Aboyne to London has gone
Bm F#m7 Bm
And all his nobles with him
F#m
Sad was the heart of his lady fair
Bm F#m7 Bm
Because she could not go with him
[Verse]
D F#m7
Oh, the Earl of Aboyne to London has gone
Bm F#7
And all his nobles with him
Bm F#m
Better he had stayed at home
Bm F#m7 Bm
Or taken his lady with him
[Verse]
F#m
And as she walked out upon the green
Bm F#m7 Bm
Among the gentlewomen
F#m
Sad was the letter that came to her hand
Bm F#m7 Bm
That her lord was wed in London
[Verse]
F#m
And as she looked over the castle wall
Bm F#m7 Bm
She saw two boys a-running
F#m
âWhat news, what news, my bonny little boys
Bm F#m7 Bm
What news have you of London?â
[Verse]
D F#m7
âOh, good news, good news, my lady gay
Bm F#7
For the Earl of Aboyne is coming
Bm F#m
And ere he's within two miles of your walls
Bm F#m7 Bm
You hear his bridles ringingâ
[Verse]
F#m
âOh, my groom's all be well in call
Bm F#m7 Bm
And happy all days are shining
F#m
Oh, gone are days spent on the stays
Bm F#m7 Bm
Since the lord of Aboyne is coming
[Verse]
F#m
âAnd my mate's all be well in call
Bm F#m7 Bm
And happier flowers are shining
F#m
And cover the stair with herbs sweet and fair
Bm F#m7 Bm
And the floors with the finest linen
[Verse]
F#m
âAnd deck my body in the finest array
Bm F#m7 Bm
My hood of the brightest linen
F#m
And my apron shall be of the good silk cloth
Bm F#m7 Bm
Since the lord of Aboyne is comingâ
[Verse]
D F#m7
So stately she stepped down the stair
Bm F#7
To see if he was coming
Bm F#m
And her gown was of the good green silk
Bm F#m7 Bm
Trimmed with her red silk trimming
[Verse]
F#m
She's called to Kate, her waiting maid
Bm F#m7 Bm
And Jean, her gentlewoman
F#m
âCome fetch me a glass of the very best wine
Bm F#m7 Bm
To drink his health, he's comingâ
[Instrumental]
Bm F#m Bm F#m7 Bm
Bm F#m Bm F#m7 Bm
D F#m7 Bm F#7
Bm F#m Bm F#m7 Bm
[Verse]
F#m
She's gone out to the close to greet her lord
Bm F#m7 Bm
Says, âWelcome for your comingâ
F#m
She's gone out to the close to greet her lord
Bm F#m7 Bm
Says, âThrice welcome from Londonâ
[Verse]
D F#m7
âOh, if I be of this welcome as you say
Bm F#7
Then kiss me for my coming
Bm F#m
For tomorrow should have been my wedding day
Bm F#m7 Bm
If I'd stayed any longer in Londonâ
[Verse]
D F#m7
Oh, she's turned then around with a look of distaste
Bm F#7
Says, âWoe's me for your coming
Bm F#m
Since tomorrow should have been your wedding day
Bm F#m7 Bm
Then go kiss your in Londonâ
[Verse]
F#m
âMy nobles, all come, mount your steed
Bm F#m7 Bm
I'm sorry for my coming
F#m
Tonight we shall lie at the bonny Bogie's side
Bm F#m7 Bm
Since tomorrow the course is to Londonâ
[Verse]
D F#m7
âOh Tom, my man, run after him
Bm F#7
And beg him to take me with him.â
Bm F#m
âOh, I've asked him once and I've asked him the more
Bm F#m7 Bm
And it's never a mile you'll ride with him.â
[Verse]
F#m
Then a year and a day she lived in woe
Bm F#m7 Bm
And the doctors they were dealing
F#m
Until at last her heart it broke
Bm F#m7 Bm
And letters were sent to London
[Verse]
F#m
When he saw the letters all edged in black
Bm F#m7 Bm
Oh, he's bound to grievest weeping
F#m
âOh, she is dead that I loved best
Bm F#m7 Bm
And I had but a heart in keeping.â
[Verse]
F#m
There were fifteen of the noblest lords
Bm F#m7 Bm
That London could provide him
F#m
From their hose to their hat, they were all dressed in black
Bm F#m7 Bm
To mourn for bonny Peggy Irvine
[Verse]
D F#m7
And the farther he rode the sorer he wept
Bm F#7
For he had but a heart in keeping
Bm F#m
âOh, sooner I had lost all the lands of Aboyne
Bm
Than my bonnie Peggy Irvine.â
