I [G]offer’d her my [Bm]hand,
She [Em]took me[D] by the [Em]arm
I [Em]knew that very [D]instant,
She [Em]meant to [D]do me [Em]harm
[section 2]
[Em]Depart from me this [D]moment,
I [Em]told her [D]with my [Em]voice
[Em]Said she, “But I don’t wish [D]to,
[Em]Said I, but you [D]have no [Em]choice
[G]I beg you, sir, [Bm]she pleaded,
[Em]From the corners [D]of her [Em]mouth
[Em]I will secretly [D]accept you,
And [Em]together [D]we’ll fly [Em]south

[Em]Just then Tom Paine, [D]himself,
Came [Em]running from [D]across the [Em]field
[Em]Shouting at this [D]lovely girl,
And comma[Em]nding [D]her to [Em]yield
[G]And as she was letting go [Bm]her grip,
[Em]Up Tom [D]Paine [Em]did run
[Em]I’m sorry, sir, he [D]said to me,
I’m [Em]sorry [D]for what she’s [Em]done
