[Verse-A 1]
C
When I was seven year old
My mother did die,
My father married the worst woman
The world did ever see.
She turned me to a loathsome worm
To lie at the foot of the tree,
My sister Maisery she made
The mackerel of the sea.
[Verse-A 2]
This father stood on the shore
And hearing sore complaint,
And wondered at the laily moan
And questioned what it meant.
“Sing on your song you laily worm
That you now sing to me,
For my two children have been gone
This many year from me.”
[Chorus]
G Cm
Every Saturday at noon
The mackerel comes to me,
F Cm Bb Gm
Changed back to my sister,
The Lady Maisery.
Cm Bb F Gm
And she takes my laily head
And lays it on her knee,
And combs it with a silver comb
To wash it in the sea.
[Bridge 1]

[Verse-A 3]
C
“Seven knights I have slain
As I lay at the foot of the tree,
And if you weren’t my own father
The eighth one you would be.
C
“For it was your own wife
Tied me to the foot of the tree,
And turned the lovely Maisery
To the mackerel of the sea.”
[Verse-A 4]
The father sent for his own wife
As fast as send could he,
Bb
“Where is the son you sent from me
And my daughter, Maisery?”
C
“Why cry out so loudly
And try to worry me?
Your son is at our king’s court
Gm
Serving for meat and fee.
And your daughter, at our queen’s court
F Eb
Learning courtesy.”
[Verse-A 5]
“You lie, you lie, you ill woman"
So loud I hear you lie!
My son he is the loathsome worm
That lies at the foot of the tree,
And my daughter Maisery
Is the mackerel of the sea.”
[Chorus]
G Cm
Every Saturday at noon
The mackerel comes to me,
F Cm Bb Gm
Changed back to my sister,
The Lady Maisery.
Cm Bb F Gm
And she takes my laily head
And lays it on her knee,
And combs it with a silver comb
To wash it in the sea.
