Cat-eye Willie Claims His Lover

	  		Intro: Am 

                 G                Am 
Bonnie Brown lay down the jack of diamonds 
                    C                Am 
Young Cody took the king of clubs in trade 
                        G               Am 
The queen of hearts was dealt to Simple Simon 
                   C               Am 
But Cat-eye Willie drew the ace of spades 


                    G                 Am 
Oh, Bonnie make the bed that you were born in 
                  C              Am 
Turn your daddy's picture to the wall 
                     G              Am 
For you'll not marry Cody, come the morning 
                      C               Am 
Tonight ol' Shuffling Willie comes to call

N.C. C G Dm Am Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb C G Am You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover C G But you're bound for the butcher's bride Dm Am The slew-foot devil won't be denied C G Am When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover

G Am As the hour of midnight was approaching C Am She heard his goblin boot-heels on the floor G Am The tattered rags like raven wings in motion C Am The hammer hand upon the bedroom door G Am "Have mercy on this high-born lily maiden C Am The fairest of the valley so they say" G Am "'Twas you who mocked my bent back, heavy laden C Am No mercy had you in your heart that day"
tabchorus
N.C. C G Dm Am Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb C G Am You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover C G But you're bound for the butcher's bride Dm Am The slew-foot devil won't be denied C G Am When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover

Instrumental: (Fiddle Break) G Am Now he has had away her coat of leather C Am And he has had away her daisy dress G Am But as he slumbers on her bed of feathers C Am She breaks a silver dagger in his chest Bridge: Dm Am G Am "Oh, hold your pillow to my breast to stay this crimson flood G F E7 For my darling, oh, my darling you have spilled my mortal blood" Dm Am G Am "No, I will not your darling be, while I have breath and spit in me" C G E "Then I curse your proud house down, 'til you're buried in the ground"

N.C. C G Dm Am Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb C G Am You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover C G But you're bound for the butcher's bride Dm Am The slew-foot devil won't be denied C G Am When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
tab
G Am Now twenty years her suitors have been idle C Am And twenty years her cat-eye boy has grown G Am And he has stolen a ruttled horse and bridle C Am And taken to the cullion road alone G Am "Oh, build my tomb down in some meadow lonely C Am Mark it with the traitor diamond knave G Am For I have served one master, true and only C Am And I will sleep beside him in the grave"
tabchorus
N.C. C G Dm Am Bonnie Brown, you can run and hide, fly my honey lamb C G Am You can cry, "Have mercy", and crawl the cane for cover C G But you're bound for the butcher's bride Dm Am The slew-foot devil won't be denied C G Am When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover F Em Am When Cat-eye Willie comes to claim his lover
