Intro:

   (x4)

Verse 1:

                                  
 Fare you well; on the morrow I must leave,
                                       ,   
And I'm bound for a far and distant land.

                                             
 A tale would tell, of my poor heart and how it grieves,
                                       ,   
So for you my love; this sorrowful Pa-van.

Chorus 1:

                  
 I was born in Lincoln county,
                             
And the son of a country wife am I.
                                    
Out of all the flowers growing wild in yon forest,
                                            
You're the fairest rose on which I've laid an eye.

Interlude:

   (x4)

Verse 2:

                                  
 Love me hard; with the dawn I'll be gone,
                                     ,   
And I don't know if I'll be back a-gain.
                                       
 God as my guard; I'm the champion of the wronged,
                                    ,   
Off to Holy Wars to fight the Sara-cen.

Chorus 2:

                  
 I was born in Lincoln county,
                             
And the son of a country wife am I.
                                    
Out of all the flowers growing wild in yon forest,
                                            
You're the fairest rose on which I've laid an eye.

Interlude:

   (x4)

Bridge 1:

                                         
 While you're away does your spouse turn a whore?
                                  
Or a chastity belt maiden while cru-sader's at war?
                                              
 I'm tired of my chain mail, my armour makes me sore,
                    
And it all seems so fu...tile.

Interlude:

   (x4)

Verse 3:

                                  
 Weep you will, but my love I cannot stay,
                                           ,   
Dry your eyes and we'll share a parting kiss.
                             
 Wait un-til the advent of that day,
                                        ,   
When I'm home and gone is sadness as this.

Chorus 3:

                  
 I was born in Lincoln county,
                             
And the son of a country wife am I.
                                    
Out of all the flowers growing wild in yon forest,
                                            
You're the fairest rose on which I've laid an eye.
