[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] At the foot of Long Mountain, [Db] where the clear [Ab] waters flow,
The greatest [Cm] creation, [Bbm] where the soft winds [Eb] do blow,
[Ab] There lived a fair maiden, [Db] she's the one I [Ab] adore,
She's [Bb] the one I will marry on [Eb] the Red [Ab] River shore.
I asked her old father [Db] if he'd give her [Ab] to me,
No sir, she [Cm] can't marry, [Bbm] no cowboy [Eb] city.
[Ab] So he jumped on his bronco [Db] and away [Ab] he did ride,
[Bb] Leaving his true love on [Eb] the Red [Ab] River side.
She wrote him a letter and [Db] she wrote it so [Ab] kind,
And in this letter [Bbm] these words [Eb] you could find,
[Ab] Come back to me darling, [Db] you're the one [Ab] I adore,
You're [Bb] the one I will [Bb] marry on the Red [Ab] River shore.
So I jumped on my bronco [Db] and away I [Ab] did ride,
To marry my [Cm] true love [Bbm] by the Red River [Eb] side.
[Ab] But her father found out, [Db] and with twenty [Ab] and four,
Came to [Bb] fight that young cowboy on the Red [Ab] River shore.
[Eb] I drew my [Db] six-shooter, spun round [Ab] and around,
[Eb] Till six men were wounded [Ab] and seven [Fm] were down,
[Ab] No use for an army of [Bbm] twenty and [Ab] four,
I [Fm] am bound [Bb] for my true love on the [Eb] Red [Ab] River shore.
