Verse 1
Eb Eb 
 
Said the Lord to his
lady as he went away,
Beware of proud Lampkins
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
if  he comes this way.
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
He was scarce gone one hour
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
when Lampkins come in  ,
E E 
 
He knocked at the door
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
and the nurse let him in.
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
Oh, where is the lady, is she within?
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
She's upstairs sleeping,
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
said the nursemaid to him.
E E 
 
How will I get at her,
to the nurse, said Lampkins?
Eb Eb 
 
We'll stick her little babies
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
full of needles and pins.
Proud Lampkins he rocked,
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
B B 
 
and the nursemaid she sung,
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
While blood and tears
E E 
 
from the cradle did run.
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Down came the lady,
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
all full of alarm,
Eb Eb 
 
and Lampkins,
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
he took her right in his arms.
E E 
 
Oh Lampkins, oh Lampkins,
Eb Eb 
 
oh spare me one hour,
I'll give you daughter Betsy,
Bb Bb 
 
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Eb Eb 
 
my  own blooming flower.
Oh send for your daughter,
E E 
 
and bring her to me,
Eb Eb 
 
and she'll hold the basin
E E 
 
while your heart's blood runs free.
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
There was blood in the nursery,
blood in the hall,
blood on the staircase,
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
and blood overall.
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
Proud Lampkins was taken
Eb Eb 
 
E E 
 
to  the gallows to die,
and the nursemaid was burned
Eb Eb 
 
in a   fire nearby.
E E 
 
Bye. Bye.
