The Poor Murdered Woman by John & Mary
The Poor Murdered Woman
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
G C
It was Yankee the squire
D Am
As I've heard the men say
D Am
Who rode out a 'huntin' on one Saturday
D Am
They hunted all day but nothing they found
G C
But a poor murdered woman
D Am G C G Am
Laid on the cold ground
G C D
About eight o'clock boys the dogs
Am
They throwed off
D
On Leatherhead Common
Am
And that was the spot
D Am
They tried all the bushes but nothing they found
G C
But a poor murdered woman
D Am G C G Am
Laid on the cold ground
G C
They mounted their horses
D Am
And they rode off the ground
D
They rode to the village
Am
And alarmed it all around
D Am
It is late in the evening I'm sorry to say
G C D Am G C G Am
She cannot be removed until the next day
G C D Am
The next Sunday morning about eight o'clock
D
Some hundreds of people
Am
To the spot they did flock
D
For to see the poor creature
Am
Your hearts would have bled
G C
Some cold-hearted violence
D Am G C G Am
Came into their heads
G C
She was took off the common
D Am
And down to some inn
D
And the man that has kept it
Am
His name is John Simms
D Am
The coroner was sent for, the jury they pined
G C D Am G C G Am
And soon they concluded and settled their mind
G C D Am
Her coffin was brought, in it she was laid
D
And took to the churchyard
Am
This cold winter day
D Am
No father, no mother, no long friend untold
G C
Came to see the poor creature
D Am G C G Am
Laid under the cold
G C D Am
So now I'll conclude and I'll finish my song
D
And those that have damage
Am
Shall find themselves wrong
D
The last day of Judgement
Am
The trumpet shall sound
G C
And their souls not in heaven
D Am
I'm afraid won't be found
