GCGF
John Gaudie was a fine young man in shetland it was told
GCGD
Many's the crowd in Lerwick Town his fiddle and he did hold
GCG
They've danced it up and they've danced it down
F
as he fiddled his tunes around
GCGD
Of all the played in Shetland Isles no better could be found.
Chorus...
CG
When John broke the prison door
D
The jailer had never seen his like before
CGD
He ran back to the Levenwick shore and wrote himself a tune...
