[Verse 1]
She was Gjust a parsoCn's daughter,
Pure, unstyned D7was her fGyme,
Till a Ccountry squire came courtin',
And the D7poor girl lorst 'er Gnyme.
[Verse 2]
It's the Gsyme the whole Cworld over,
It's the poor what D7gets the Gblyme,
While the Crich 'as all the plysures,
Now ain't D7that a blinkin' Gshyme.
[Verse 3]
So she Gwent aw'y to CLunnon,
Just to 'ide 'D7er guilty Gshyme.
There she Cmet another squire,
Once D7ag'yn she lorst 'er Gnyme.
[Verse 4]
Look at G'im with all 'is C'orses,
Drinking D7champygne in 'is Gclub,
While the Cwictim of 'is passions
Drinks 'er D7Guiness in a Gpub.
[Verse 5]
Now e's Gin 'is ridin' Cbritches,
'Untin' foxes D7in the Gchyse,
While the Cwictim of 'is folly
Mykes 'er D7livin' by 'er Gwice.
[Verse 6]
When she Gtried to go from CLunnon,
Once ag'yn to D7'ide 'er Gshyme,
She was C'syved' by an army chaplain,
Once aD7g'yn she lorst 'er Gnyme.
[Verse 7]
'Ear 'im Gas 'e jaws the CTommies,
Warnin' o' the D7flymes o' G'ell.
With 'er C'ole 'eart she 'ad trusted,
But agD7'yn she lorst 'er Gnyme.
[Verse 8]
So she sGettled down in CLunnon,
Sinkin' deeper D7in 'er Gshyme,
Till she Cmet a lybor leader,
And agD7'yn she lorst 'er Gnyme.
[Verse 9]
Now 'e's Gin the 'ouse of CCommons
Mykin' laws to D7put down Gcrime,
Wile the Cwictim o' 'is plysure
Walks the D7street each night in Gshyme.
[Verse 10]
Then there Gcyme a bloated Cbishop.
Marriage D7was the tyle 'e Gtold.
There was Cno one else to tyke 'er,
So she D7sold 'er soul for Ggold.
[Verse 11]
See 'er Gin 'er 'orse and Ccarriage,
Drivin' d'yly D7through the Gpark.
Though she Cmyde a wealthy marriage,
Still she D7'ides a breakin' G'eart.
[Verse 12]
In a Gcottage down in CSussex
Lives 'er payD7rents old and Glyme,
And they Cdrink the wine she sends 'em,
But they D7never speaks 'er Gnyme.
[Verse 13]
In their Gpoor and 'umble Cdwelling,
There 'er gD7rievin' payrents Glive.
Drinkin' Cchampygne as she sends 'em
But they D7never can forGgive.
