Sweet seventeen my virgin queen, I saw her on a charcoal mare
Am            Am7            C      Am           Em         Am 
I did decide to make her my bride, while I swam in her crystal stare

A peasant love ancient cliffs above, the wind wrestled in my head
I spent the night while my love held tight, on the night when we were wed

I traveled around with a village clown, for some noblemen and royalty
When I returned I saw my house was burned, and my love hanging from a tree
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/michael_mcdermott/my_sweet_rapier_crd.html ]
I swear on my mother soul tonight the soul of my true love fair
That I wont sleep until your blood rests, on my sweet rapier

As sure as my name I knew who to blame, the very ones that I will find 
Hes a swordsman skilled, the very one who killed, the truest love of mine

I saw the way he looked at her, on the days of the village fair
He wore a fichu around his neck and black ribbon in his hair

An I swear on my fathers soul tonight and on the soul of my true love fair
That I wont sleep until your blood rests, on my sweet rapier 

I may be over matched I know, but the battle is already won 
I will find ye sir and cut thee down, before the rising sum

I swear on my mothers soul tonight the soul of my true love fair
That I won’t sleep until your blood rests, on my sweet rapier


Thats how I hear it.
