Chords for Clarence Ashley - Dark Holler (1929)

_ _ _ _ _ I was born [Bb] in _ old _ Virginia, _ [B] _ _ South _ Carolina right ago. _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ There I caught [Ab] a pretty _ little woman, _ [Bb] _ but her [B] age _ I did [Abm] not know. _ _ _ _
_ Well her _ _ [Ab] hair was brown _ [Bb] and curly, _ oh her cheeks was rosy red.
_ _ _ _ _ On her breast _ she wore _ white lilies, [Ebm] _ _ oh the tears that [Eb] I have shed. _ _ _ _
_ When I'm asleep _ _ [Bb] I'm _ dreaming about [Ebm] you, _
[F] when I wake I have no _ _ rest.
[Abm] _ _ [Bb] _ Every _ _ moment seems like an hour, _ _ oh the pain rolls through my [Bbm] _ _ breast.
_ _ I'd rather _ be [Ab] in some [Abm] dark _ holler, _ [Eb] where the sun _ don't ever [Ab] shine.
_ _ [Abm] _ _
For you to be [Ab] some _ other [Abm] man's darling, _ _ when you _ ain't no longer mine. _
_ _ _ _ Papa _ [Bbm] _
[Ab] says I'm best [Abm] not marry, _ [Ebm] _ mama _ says it'll never _ do.
[Abm] _ _ _
But little [Ebm] _ girl [Bb] if _ you are willing, _ _ I will run away with you.
_ _ _ _ I'd rather be [Bb] in some _ dark _ [Ebm] holler, _ [Eb] where the sun don't ever _ shine. _ _ _
For you to _ [Bb] be some other man's [Bbm] darling, _ _ when [Abm] you _ ain't no longer mine.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ When I'm asleep _ I'm _ dreaming about [Bbm] you, when I wake I have no _ rest.
_ [Abm] _
_ _ Every _ moment [Ab] seems _ [Abm] like an [Ebm] hour, _ _ oh the pain rolls through my _ breast.
