Trad. folk song
The Fish Brothers, Billy Bennett
Key: D

-5   6   -6*  -5  -5  -5   5* -4
She was poor, but she was hon-est,
 -8  -8  -7   -7  7  -6*  6
Pure un-stain-ed was her name,
 -5   6 -6* -6*   7     -7    7   -8
�Til the lo-cal squire came court-ing,
-8  -8   -7   -7   7    6   -5
And the poor girl lost her name.
 
Chorus:
 -5   6  -6*  -5   -5    -5   5* -4
It's the same the whole world o-ver,
 -8 -8  -7   -7    7  -6*   6
It�s a shame, a wretch-ed shame
 -5   6   -6* -6*  7   -7    7    -8
It's the rich who gets the pleas-ures,
-8  -8   -7  -6*  7    6   -5
And the poor who gets the blame;
