Verse 1

            C               Am
There was a Lady and a Lady gay
Am                  C
Of children she had three
               C
She sent them away to the North Countree
   C                 Am
To learn their grammaree

Verse 2

                C                     Am
They'd not been gone but a very short time
Am                         C
Scarcely three weeks and a day
C
When death, cruel death, came harkening along
    C                  Am
And stole those babes away

Verse 3

            C                    Am
"There is a King in Heaven," she cried
                   C
"A King of third degree
                C
Send back, send back my three little babes
     C                       Am
This night send them back to me."

Verse 4

           C                    Am
She made a bed in the uppermost room
Am                    C
On it she put a white sheet
C
And over the top a golden spread
     C                      Am
That they much better might sleep

Verse 5

Am                    C                     Am
"Take it off, take it off," cried the older one
Am                                C
"Take it off, take it off," cried he
                 C
"For what's to become of this wide wicked world
      C               Am
Since sin has first begun."

Verse 6

          C              Am
She set a table of linen fine
Am                         C
On it she placed bread and wine
C
Come eat come drink my three little babes
      C                  Am
"Come eat, come drink of mine."

Verse 7

              C                 Am
"We want none of your bread, mother
Am                      C
Neither do we want your wine
           C
For yonder stands our Savior dear
   C             Am
To Him we must resign."

Verse 8

                C                 Am
"Green grass is over our heads, mother
Am                    C
Cold clay is over our feet
          C
And every tear you shed for us
   C                Am
It wets our winding-sheet."
