[A] [D]
[D] Oh, last night it was dark, it was stormy, when a tramp came along in the [A] rain.
He was tramping along [G] to some station, [A] just to catch him a long distance [D] train.
May I sleep in your [Am] barn tonight, mister, for it's cold lying out on [A] the ground.
And [D] the cold north wind, it [G] is whistling, [A] and I have me no place to [D] lie down.
Now I have [A] no tobacco [D] nor matches, and I'm sure I can do you [A] no harm.
[D] I'll tell you my story, [G] kind mister, [A] for it troubles my heart [D] like a stone.
It was three [A] years ago last summer, oh I ne'er will forget that [A] sad day.
[D] A stranger came out [G] from the city, [A] and he said that he wanted [D] to stay.
Now my wife thought she'd like to be earning something to help with our [A] income.
[D] So right there and then [G] we decided that [A] the stranger could stay [D] in our home.
But [A] one night as I came [D] from my workshop, singing and whistling [A] with joy,
[D] and expecting a kind [G]-hearted welcome from [A] my dear loving wife [D] and my boy,
[A] Nothing there did I find [D] but a letter placed in the room [A] on the stand.
[D] And the moment my eye [G] fell upon it, [A] why I took it right up in [D] my hand.
Now this note said my wife with this stranger had left me and taken my [A] son.
[D] Oh I wonder if God [G] up in heaven [A] only knows what that stranger [D] has [G] done.
