A wafu' man was he	G

And set her on the sea	G
And ye sal gae and seek your love	H
Your ain love Gregory '	-

Then he 's gart build a bonny ship	C
And set it on the sea	G
Wi' four and twenty mariners	J

O he 's gart build a bonny ship	C
To sail on the salt sea	G
The mast was o' the beaten gold	K
The sails o' cramoisie	G
	-
The sides were o' the gude stout aik	L
The deck o' mountain pine	M
The anchor o' the silver shene	M
The ropes o' silken twine	M
	-
She hadna sail'd but twenty leagues	G
But twenty leagues and three	G
When she met wi' a rank reiver	G
And a' his companie	M
	-
'Now are ye Queen of Heaven hie	G
Come to pardon a' our sin	M
Or are ye Mary Magdalane	M
Was born at Bethlam '	-

Come to pardon ye your sin	M
Nor am I Mary Magdalane	M
Was born in Bethlam	E

That 's sailing on the sea	G
To see if I can find my love	H
My ain love Gregory '	-

'O see na ye yon bonny bower	G
It 's a' covered owre wi' tin	M
When thou hast sail'd it round about	N
Lord Gregory is within '	-

And when she saw the stately tower	G
Shining both clear and bright	O
Whilk stood aboon the jawing wave	P
Built on a rock of height	O
	-
Says 'Row the boat my mariners	G
And bring me to the land	B
For yonder I see my love's castle	Q
Close by the salt sea strand '	-
	-
She sail'd it round and sail'd it round	R
And loud and loud cried she	G
'Now break now break your fairy charms	G
And set my true love free '	-
	-
She 's ta'en her young son in her arms	G
And to the door she 's gane	M
And long she knock'd and sair she ca'd	R
But answer got she nane	M
	-
'O open open Gregory	G
O open if ye be within	M
For here 's the lass of Lochroyan	M
Come far fra kith and kin	M
	-
'O open the door Lord Gregory	G
O open and let me in	M
The wind blows loud and cauld Gregory	G
The rain drops fra my chin	M
	-
'The shoe is frozen to my foot	R
The glove unto my hand	R
The wet drops fra my yellow hair	G
Na langer dow I stand '	-
	-
O up then spak his ill mither	G
An ill death may she die	R
'Ye're no the lass of Lochroyan	M
She 's far out owre the sea	G
	-
'Awa' awa' ye ill woman	M
Ye're no come here for gude	R
Ye're but some witch or wil' warlock	L
Or mermaid o' the flood '	-
	-
'I am neither witch nor wil' warlock	L
Nor mermaid o' the sea	G
But I am Annie of Lochroyan	M
O open the door to me '	-
	-
'Gin ye be Annie of Lochroyan	M
As I trow thou binna she	G
Now tell me of some love tokens	G
That pass'd 'tween thee and me '	-
	-
'O dinna ye mind love Gregory	G
As we sat at the wine	M
We changed the rings frae our fingers	G
And I can shew thee thine	M
	-
'O yours was gude and gude enough	S
But ay the best was mine	M
For yours was o' the gude red gowd	R
But mine o' the diamond fine	M
	-
'Yours was o' the gude red gowd	R
Mine o' the diamond fine	M
Mine was o' the purest troth	T
But thine was false within '	-
	-
'If ye be the lass of Lochroyan	M
As I kenna thou be	G
Tell me some mair o' the love tokens	G
Pass'd between thee and me '	-
	-
'And dinna ye mind love Gregory	G
As we sat on the hill	U
Thou twin'd me o' my maidenheid	R
Right sair against my will	U
	-
'Now open the door love Gregory	G
Open the door I pray	G
For thy young son is in my arms	G
And will be dead ere day '	-
	-
'Ye lie ye lie ye ill woman	M
So loud I hear ye lie	R
For Annie of the Lochroyan	M
Is far out owre the sea '	-
	-
Fair Annie turn'd her round about	R
'Weel sine that it be sae	G
May ne'er woman that has borne a son	M
Hae a heart sae fu' o' wae	V
	-
'Tak down tak down that mast o' gowd	R
Set up a mast of tree	G
It disna become a forsaken lady	G
To sail sae royallie '	-
	-
When the cock has crawn and the day did dawn	M
And the sun began to peep	C
Up than raise Lord Gregory	G
And sair sair did he weep	C
	-
'O I hae dream'd a dream mither	G
I wish it may bring good	R
That the bonny lass of Lochroyan	M
At my bower window stood	R
	-
'O I hae dream'd a dream mither	G
The thought o't gars me greet	R
That fair Annie of Lochroyan	M
Lay dead at my bed feet '	-
	-
'Gin it be for Annie of Lochroyan	M
That ye mak a' this mane	M
She stood last night at your bower door	G
But I hae sent her hame '	-
	-
'O wae betide ye ill woman	M
An ill death may ye die	R
That wadna open the door yoursell	R
Nor yet wad waken me '	-
	-
O he 's gane down to yon shore side	R
As fast as he could dree	G
And there he saw fair Annie's bark	L
A rowing owre the sea	G
	-
'O Annie Annie ' loud he cried	R
'O Annie O Annie bide '	-
But ay the mair he cried 'Annie '	-
The braider grew the tide	R
	-
'O Annie Annie dear Annie	G
Dear Annie speak to me '	-
But ay the louder he gan call	R
The louder roar'd the sea	G
	-
The wind blew loud the waves rose hie	G
And dash'd the boat on shore	G
Fair Annie's corpse was in the faem	E
The babe rose never more	G
	-
Lord Gregory tore his gowden locks	G
And made a wafu' moan	M
Fair Annie's corpse lay at his feet	R
His bonny son was gone	M
	-
'O cherry cherry was her cheek	L
And gowden was her hair	G
And coral coral was her lips	G
Nane might with her compare '	-
	-
Then first he kiss'd her pale pale cheek	L
And syne he kiss'd her chin	M
And syne he kiss'd her wane wane lips	G
There was na breath within	M
	-
'O wae betide my ill mither	G
An ill death may she die	R
She turn'd my true love frae my door	G
Who cam so far to me	E
	-
'O wae betide my ill mither	G
An ill death may she die	R
She has no been the deid o' ane	M
But she 's been the deid of three '	-
	-
Then he 's ta'en out a little dart	R
Hung low down by his gore	G
He thrust it through and through his heart	R
And words spak never more	G
