I play this in CGCGCD with the Capo on the 5th Fret (so key of F), but if you are
in standard, then play in the key of G with a simple alternate thumbing pattern
and you are more or less there!
G
My name is Sally Brown
G D
In Hartlepool I was born
G C G
My love he works out on the docks
G D G
With the cold and the blowing of the horns
G
He has given me a golden ring
G D
And he's pulled me in right close
G C G
He said as long as I keep it near to my heart
G D G
There'll be music wherever he goes
Chorus:
G C
There'll be music wherever he goes
C G
Music wherever he goes
G D G
As long as I keep it near to my heart
G D G
There'll be music wherever he goes
But when month end comes around
With the other young girls I'll go
To earn an extra shilling on my wages-o
Picking tatties all out in a row
I have taken off his golden ring
And I've put it safe in the drawer
So it will not slip off from my right hand
As I go working the fields in the morn
working the fields in the morn
working the fields in the morn
So it will not slip off from my right hand
As I go working the fields in the morn
The songbirds are so sweet
All pretty on the branch
Why do they sing so sorrowfully
As I walk on the factory path
I hear, I hear them say
Your true love he is dead
He has fallen from the highest crane
And turned the waters red
Turned the waters red
Turned the waters red
He has fallen from the highest crane
And turned the waters red
Well now he is long gone
Buried in the cold cold clay
Only good for the channering worms
And I am alone all the day
So I'll wear his golden ring
Though grief it moves me slow
As long as I keep it near to my heart
There'll be music wherever I go
There'll be music wherever I go
There'll be music wherever I go
as long as I keep it near to my heart
There'll be music wherever I go
