  • Tuning: Standard
     
    This is basically what I hear John Renbourn doing in both the
  • Pentangle version of the song (from 'Solomon's Seal) and his solo
    version from 'Faro Annie'.
    It's a beautiful traditional tune whose
  • melody has been borrowed for, among others, 'Farewell, Farewell,
    from Fairport Convention's 'Liege and Lief'.
     
  • Note: The only really tricky bit is at the end of Bar 3 of the
    intro and leading into bar 4. Some dexterity and practise is
    required to fit the little hammer-on/pull-off sequence within
  • the time signature.

    Rest of verses:
  •  
    'What ails thee, what ails thee
    My daughter Janet?
  • Well, you look so pale and wan.
    Oh, have you had any sore sickness
    Or yet been sleeping with a man?'
  •  
    'I have not had any sore sickness
    Nor yet been sleeping with a man
  • It is for you, my father dear
    For biding so long in Spain.'
     
  • 'Cast off, cast off your berry-brown gown
    You stand naked upon the stone,
    That I may know you by your shape
  • And whether you be a maiden or no.'
     
    And she's cast off her berry-brown gown
  • She stood naked upon the stone
    And her apron was low and her haunches were round
    Her face it was pale and wan.
  •  
    'Oh, was it with a lord or a duke or a knight
    Or a man of birth and fame
  • Or was it with one of my serving men
    That's lately come out of Spain?'
     
  • 'No, it wasn't with a lord or a duke or a knight
    Nor a man of birth and fame,
    But it was with Willy O' Winsbury
  • (I could bide no longer alone).'
     
    And he's called forth his merry men all
  • By thirty and by three
    Saying 'Fetch me this Willy O' Winsbury,
    For hanged he shall be!'
  •  
    But when he came the King before,
    He was clad all in red silk
  • And his hair was the colour of strands of gold
    His skin it was pale as milk.
     
  • 'And it is no wonder', said the King,
    'That my daughter's love you did win,
    For if I was a woman as I am a man,
  • My bedfellow you'd have been.
     
    And will you marry my daughter Janet,
  • By the truth of your right hand?
    Oh, will you marry my daughter Janet?
    I'll make you a lord of my land.'
  •  
    'Yes, I will marry your daughter Janet,
    By the truth of my right hand.
  • Yes, I will marry your daughter Janet,
    But I'll not be a lord of your land.'
     
  • And he's mounted her on a milk-white steed
    And himself on a dapple grey
    And he's made her the lady of as much land
  • As she may ride in a long summer's day.
