[ Предположительная тональность: C ] On her first album ("Joan Baez"), Baez does this in the key of B. (In "The Joan Baez Song Book", it's in D.) C F C G7 Word is to the kitchen gone, and word is to the hall, F G7 C Am And word is up to Madam the Queen C G7 C And that is the worst of all. F G7 C Am C G7 C That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe, to the highest Stuart of all. C F C G7 "Arise, arise Mary Hamilton, arise and tell to me, F G7 C Am C G7 C What thou hast done with thy wee babe I saw and heard weep by thee?" C F C G7 "I put him in a tiny boat, and cast him out to sea, F G7 C Am C G7 C That he might sink or he might swim, but he'd never come back to me." C F C G7 "Arise, arise Mary Hamilton, arise and come with me; F G7 C Am C G7 C There is a wedding in Glasgow town, this night we'll go and see." C F C G7 She put not on her robes of black, nor her robes of brown. F G7 C Am C G7 C But she put on her robes of white, to ride into Glasgow town. C F C G7 And as she rode into Glasgow town the city for to see, F G7 C Am C G7 C The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife cried "ach and alas for thee." C F C G7 "Ah you need not weep for me," she cried,"you need not weep for me. F G7 C Am C G7 C For had I not slain my own wee babe this night I would not die." C F C G7 Ah little did my mother think when first she cradled me, F G7 C Am C G7 C The lands I was to travel in and the death I was to die." C F C G7 Last night I washed the Queen's feet and put the gold in her hair, F G7 C Am C G7 C And the only reward I find for this is the gallows to be my share." C F C G7 "Cast off, cast off my gown," she cried,"but let my petticoat be, F G7 C Am C G7 C And tie a napkin 'round my face; the gallows I would not see." C F C G7 Then by and come the King himself, looked up with a pitiful eye, F G7 C Am C G7 C "Come down, come down Mary Hamilton, tonight, you will dine with me." C F C G7 "Ah hold your tongue, my sovereign liege, and let your folly be; F G7 C Am C G7 C For if you'd a mind to save my life, you'd never have shamed me here. C F C G7 Last night there were four Marys, tonight there'll be but three. F G7 C Am C G7 C There was Mary Beaton and Mary Seaton and Mary Carmichael and me."
