[Verse]
     Am      G    F      D          F     D      Am     D
Last year at Lady Mary's Fair, when I was on the spree
  Am      Em     Am        F        Am     C       G    Em
I fell in wi' an auld sweetheart, a weaver frae Dundee
    Am   Em   Am         F        Am       C     G   Em
Her company I sought and won, and with her I did go
         Am      G       F        D      F          D   Am     D
But I'll hing my heid in shame to say, I proved her overthrow

[Verse]
   Am       G        F        D        F        D         Am   D
We wandered east, we wandered west, we wandered roond the law
  Am       Em      Am        F          Am      C     G    Em
I said I'd see her hame that night, but hame we never saw
  Am     Em       Am      F        Am         C      G     Em
I kept beside her all the while, resolved tae hae my will
    Am     G     F        D          F       D     Am    D
And by and by we lost our wye at the back o' Reres Hill

[Verse]
    Am     G       F     D       F          D       Am  D
Noo fan we cam tae Reres Hill, a thocht did come to me
    Am       Em     Am        F          Am       C        G    Em
"We can't go home tonight, my dear, it's far over late, ye see
        Am       Em       Am    F       Am   C      G     Em
But the night is warm and in my pooch I hae anither gill
   Am     G        F       D           F       D     Am    D
So we can lie doon here content at the back o' Reres Hill"

[Verse]
  Am      G      F    D          F       D    Am    D
I poured anither nip apiece, tae quieten her alarm
    Am      Em        Am       F        Am             C       G     Em
And fan we awoke next morning', we were locked in each other's arms
    Am     Em     Am F     Am     C         G     Em
She handed me the bottle, anither glass tae fill
        Am       G          F        D             F       D     Am    D
And she drank my health and store o' wealth at the back o' Reres Hill

[Verse]
    Am    G     F   D       F     D     Am      D
Now may I niver prosper and may I niver thrive
   Am Em      Am      F        Am      C    G     Em
In anything I take in hand, as lang as I'm alive
   Am     Em         Am       F       Am    C      G     Em
If e'er I cause that lass tae rue the day I had my will
   Am       G    F      D            F       D     Am    D
Success tae Lady Mary's Fair and the back o' Reres Hill
