Oh that a young man should be treated this way

Instrumental: Em D C Bm A G F#m G#m A F#m G#m A Bm
No purse for a champion, no true love come over the stile
The debt of a poor man, he'll pay in awhile
Poor ladies, poor gentleman, born of a sorry degree
Will you laugh for the hangman when he comes for his fee'
