Oh, [Ebm] Mary [Eb] was a maiden when [Gb] the birds began [Db] to sing
[Eb] She was sweeter than [Gb] the blooming rose [Bb] so early in the spring
[Eb]
Her thoughts were [Ebm] gay and happy [Gb] and the morning game
[Db]
[Eb] For her lover was [Gb] a river boy [Bb] from the river in the pines
[Ebm]
Now [Ebm] Charlie got married to [Gb] his Mary [Db] in the spring
[Eb] When the trees were [Gb] budding and [Bb] the birds began [Eb] to sing
But [Ebm] early in the autumn when [Gb] the fruit is in [Db] the wine
[Eb] I'll return to you [Gb] my darling from [Bb] the river in [Eb] the pines
It [Bbm] [Ebm]
was early in the morning [Gb] in Wisconsin's dreary [Db]
climes
[Ebm] When [Eb]
he rode the fatal [Gb]
rides for [Bb] that last and fatal time
They [Ebm] found his body lying on [Gb] the rocky shore [Db] below
[Bb] Where the silence [Gb]
and [Bb] the whispering cedars blow
Now
[Ebm]
every raft of lumber that [Gb] comes down the [Db] cheapaway
[Eb] There's a lonely grave [Gb] that's visited [Bbm] by [Bb] drivers on their way
They [Ebm] plant wildflowers upon it in [Gb] the morning fair
[Db]
[Eb] And tease the grave of two [Gb] young lovers from [Bbm] the river [Bb] in [Eb] the pines
