  23      G               D         C          G
  24 When first unto this country a stranger I came
  25   C         D          C             G
  26 I courted a fair maid, Nancy was her name
  27   G               D         C               G
  28 I courted her for love, her love I didn't obtain
  29        C              D         C           G
  30 Do you think I've any reason or right to complain
  31
  32
  33 I rode to see my Nancy, I rode both day and night
  34 I rode to see my Nancy, my own heart's true delight
  35 I rode to see my Nancy, I rode both night and day
  36 Till I spied a fine grey horse, belonged to captain Grey
  37
  38
  39 But the sheriff's men they followed there, they overtaken me
  40 Then they carted me away to the penitentiary
  41 They beat me and they banged me, and they fed me on dry beans
  42 'Til I wished to my own soul that I'd never been a thief.
  43
  44 They opened up the door and then they threw me in
  45 They shaved off my hair and they cleared off my chin.
  46 With my hands all in my pockets and my cap set on so bold
  47 My coat of many colors Like Jacob's of old.

  49 When first unto this country a stranger I came
  50 I courted a fair maid, Nancy was her name
