Castle By The Sea

D
Arise, Arise my lady fair,
    G                  D
For you my bride shall be,
D
And we will dwell in a Sylvain bower,
   C         G/B    D
In my castle by the sea.
D
Come bring along your marriage fee,
     G               D
That you can claim today,
D
And also bring your swiftest steeds,
    C          G/B     D
The milk white and the grey.
D
The lady mounted her white stead,
     G                            D
He rode the turban grey,
D
They took the path by the wild sea shore,
      C               G/B     D
Or so I heard them say,
D
When they got to the castle high,
   G                   D
It looked so black and cold,
D
She wished she'd stayed in Boston Town,
     C          G/B       D
With her 10,000 pounds in gold.

D
Lie down lie down my pretty fair maid,
       G                              D
My bride you'll never be,
D
For its six fair maiden's I've drowned here,
         C                   G/B          D
And the seventh you shall be.
D
Take off, take off that scarlet robe
    G              D
And lay it down by me,
D
For it is to rich and costly for
   C          G/B    D
To rot in the brinny sea
D
Then turn your face to the wild sea shore,
    G                   D
And your back to yonder tree
D
For it is a disgrace for any man,
   C           G/B    D
An unclothed woman to see,
D
So he turned his face to the wild sea shore,
    G                  D
And his back to yonder tree
D
This lady took him in her arms
    C         G/B      D
And flung him into the sea
D
Lie there, lie there you false young man
    G                     D
And drown in the place of me
D
If its six fair maidens you've drown here
     C    G/B       D
Well keep them company
D
She mounted on her milk white steed
    G              D
And led the turban grey
D
She rode 'til she come to Boston town,
    C            G/B    D
Two hours before it was day
