Judge Jeffries Chords

[Verse 1]
A                    E7     A
Judge Jeffries was a wicked man,
                         E7      A
he send my mother to Van Diemans Land,
                         D       A
he sent my father to the gallows high
                    E7      A
and left me here to sit and cry.
 
[Verse 2]
A                              E7       A
The birds were singing on that lonesome morn,
                           E7     A
the sun was shining on the waving corn,
               D       A
as I walked to Taunton Town
                           E7      A
to get my father when they cut him down.
 
[Verse 3]
A                           E7       A
I met Judge Jeffries in his robes of red,
                       E7    A
these are the words to him I said,
                    D         A
I cursed him by the Saints on high,
                    E7      A
I said one day he'd have to die.
 
[Verse 4]
A                     E7    A
And he could sentence me to die
                E7   A
his evil ways I will defy,
                             D      A
although a maid of three and twenty years,
                   E7     A
upon my face he'll see no fear.
 
[Verse 5]
A                    E7     A
Judge Jeffries was a wicked man,
                         E7      A
he send my mother to Van Diemans Land,
                         D       A
he sent my father to the gallows high
                    E7      A
and left me here to sit and cry.
