[Bm]
[D] Well I left my home and my [Bm] one true love
[D] East of the [Bm] Ohio River
Her [D]
father said [Bm] we'd never [A] [E] wed [A] For [E] [D] I had [A] neither [Bm] gold nor silver
But [F#m] my darling [G] dear, please shed no tear For [D]
I [A] think that it's fair [Bm] to warn you
That I'll return to claim you
As the [G] king of [D]
Kalamorth
[Bm]
[D] Over deserts hot and mountains [A] [E] cold [A] I [D] traveled [A] the Indian [Bm] country
You [D]
spent your name under [A] lonesome skies
[D] And your [A] memory my [Bm] only company But [F#m] my darling [G] dear, please have no fear
For [D] I think [A] that it's fair [Bm] to warn you That [G] I'll return to [Bm] claim you
As [F#m] the [G] king of [D] Kalamorth
[Bm]
[D] I went up from [Bm] Sacramento [A] town
[D] To [A] the Seattle [Bm] fields
[D] And I worked my stick on a [Bm]
[A] river [E] bank
[D] Dreaming [A] just how a [Bm] rich man feels
[F#m] So my darling [G] dear, listen here For [D] I think [A] that it's fair [Bm] to warn you
[G] That I'll [Bm] return to claim you
As [F#m] the [G] king of [D] Kalamorth

[Bm] [D] a dead man's lying at my [Bm] feet [D] And he tried [A] to steal [Bm] my names
[D] But [C#] [D] I still recall your tender [Bm] kiss Though [D] his bullet in [A] my [Bm] chest is burning
Oh [F#m] my darling dear, [G] please shed no tear [D] For I think that [A] it's [Bm] fair to warn you
That [G] I'll return [Bm] to claim you
As [F#m] the king [G] of [D] Kalamorth
Yes, [Bm] [A] [D]

[Bm] [A]
[D]

Thank you all very much.
Well, it's hard to say what it means for a bunch of
barroom guys like us to be on [G] awesome city limits, but honor and pleasure and
I think they were drinking when they decided to let us on.
[C] I'd like right now I'd like to bring up from Corpus Christi, Texas,
one of the great harmonic players in the entire known universe, Mr.
Ted Roddy.
