[Intro]
Dm C
As I went out one morning
Dm C Dm
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's
Dm C
I spied the fairest damsel
Dm C Dm
That ever did walk in chains
F Am
I offer'd her my hand
Dm C Dm
She took me by the arm
Dm C
I knew that very instant
Dm C Dm
She meant to do me harm
[Gaita]
Dm C
"Depart from me this moment,"
Dm C Dm
I told her with my voice
Dm C
Said she, "But I don't wish to,"
Dm C Dm
Said I, "But you have no choice."
F Am
"I beg you, sir," she pleaded
Dm C Dm
From the corners of her mouth
Dm C
"I will secretly accept you
Dm C Dm
And together we'll fly south."
Dm C
Just then Tom Paine, himself
Dm C Dm
Came running from across the field
Dm C
Shouting at this lovely girl
Dm C Dm
And commanding her to yield
F Am
And as she was letting go her grip
Dm C Dm
Up Tom Paine did run
Dm C
"I'm sorry, sir," he said to me
Dm C Dm
"I'm sorry for what she's done."
