Sandy and Jockie


Em                      G        B7
Twa bonie lads were Sandy and Jockie
Em                     G      B7
Jockie was lo'ed but Sandy unlucky,
Em                            G            B7
Jockie was laird of baith of hills and of vallies.
Em                            G            B7
But Sandy was nought but the king o gude fellows

Em                          Am
Jackie lo'ed Madgie, for Madgie had money
      G          Em        G        D
And Sandy lo'ed Mary for Mary was bonie,
      Em         D        C           B7
Ane wedded for love, ane wedded for treasure,
    Em                      G        B7
So Jockie had siller and Sandy has pleasure.
