Earl O Marchs Daughter

       C             Am
Young Toshy Law's a hunting ga'en
     F             G
And galant is his deed,
          C                 Am
For he's ta'en the heart of Lady March
     F       G       C
The fairest maid in Tweed.
         C              Am
But the faither he has banished him
    F               G
For he's below her station
    C              Am
And Toshy Law has fled tae France
    F         G        C
To fight for King and nation.

           C               Am               F              G
She's the Earl of March's daughter and the fairest of them a'
         C                Am            F         G     C
But the humble squire o' Toshy Law has ta'en her heart awa'.

         C            Am
Now the lady she has heard the news
      F             G
That Toshy Law has fled
         C              Am
And the lady's looking pale and drawn,
       F      G       C
She's ta'en unto her bed.
   C                    Am
A physician's came tae Neidpath,
   F                  G
A' season she's been lying,
   C              Am
I fear she has a broken heart,
   F       G      C
I fear my lady's dying.

           C               Am               F              G
She's the Earl of March's daughter and the fairest of them a'
         C                Am            F         G     C
But the humble squire o' Toshy Law has ta'en her heart awa'.

         C               Am
Now her faither he's conceeded
         F                G
And he's one to tak' the blame.
       C             Am
And a messenger has sent awa'
    F        G     C
To feth her lover hame.
         C              Am
And the lady's feeling better,
       F             G
She's risen tae her feet
           C                Am
An' she's ta'en a hoose in Peebles town
     F         G        C
Her true love there to meet.

           C               Am               F              G
She's the Earl of March's daughter and the fairest of them a'
         C                Am            F         G     C
But the humble squire o' Toshy Law has ta'en her heart awa'.

           C                 Am
But she's looking tired and palid,
     F                      G
Her cheeks have lost their glow,
      C               Am
She's no the hansome beauty that
    F      G    C
She was a year ago.
          C            Am
And when Toshy Law to Peebles cam'
     F              G
His horse he didna tether,
    C                  Am
He swiftly passed the lady by
     F         G     C
An' ta'en her for another.

      C               Am
He's galloped on for Neidpath
    F             G
To see his love again,
    C                  Am
He spurs his horse in anguish
        F         G        C
But he spurs his horse in vain.
         C            Am
For the lady lies in Peebles toon,
      F                  G
It's there she's passed awa'.
     C                 Am
Her wounded heart nae longer beats
     F        G    C
For handsome Toshy Law.

           C               Am               F              G
She's the Earl of March's daughter and the fairest of them a'
         C                Am            F         G     C
But the humble squire o' Toshy Law has ta'en her heart awa'.
