[N] [C]
[F]
After traveling through this world of [Bb] sorrow,
No one [C] on earth [F] upon my mind,
To old [Bb] Kentucky where I met and [C]
loved [F]
you little [Bb] darlin'.
My heart will [C] [F] always be the same,
I could never do one [Bb] thing to hurt you,
I'd rather [C] die [F]
than bring you shame.
[C]
[F]
When the cold dark shroud is wrapped [Bb] around me,
They lay my [C]
[F] weary head to rest,
Will you stand around and gaze [Bb] upon me,
For I'm the [C]
boy who loved [F] you best.
When your golden hair is turned to [Bb] silver,
The master [C] calls your soul [F] to him.
Where we [Bb] can be [F] free from our [Bb] troubles,
I'll meet you [C]
there at your new home.
