GC

GDG
or a man of wealth of fame
GC
or is he one of my sailor lads

GDGGC
John Barbour was the first he called
GC
but the last came was he
GAmCD
when he came a trippin down
GDG
he was clothed in all in white
GC
his hair were like the roses red
GC
and his teeth were ivory brite
GAmCD
he paid their wages with a smile
GDG
when John Barbour he did see
GC

GC

GAmCD

GAmCD
I will marry your daughter Jane
GDG
and I'll take her by the hand
GC
I will come and dine with you
GC
but to hell with all your lands
GAmCD
if you can give her one gold piece
GDG
then I can give her three
GC
for I am bold John Barbour
GC
and I plow the raging sea
GC
I plow the raging sea
GC
I plow the raging sea
