[F]
[Dm]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[F] On the banks of the river
Where [Bb]
the willows [F] hang down
And the wild [Dm] birds all warble
With a [Bb] low [F] moaning sound
Way down in [Dm] the hollow
[Bb] Where the water [F] runs cold
That's where I [Bb] first listened
To the lies that you [F] told
Now I lie on my bed
And [Bb] I see your sweet [Am] [F] face
And the past I [D] remember
[Dm]
Time [Bb]
cannot [F] erase
The letter [Dm] you wrote me
[Bb] Was written in [F] shame
And I know that [Bb] your conscience
Still echoes [F] my name
Now the nights are so long
[Bb] And sorrow [F] runs deep
And nothing [Dm] is worse
[F] Than [Bb] a night [F] without sleep
I walk [Dm] out alone
[Bb] I look at [F] the sky
Too empty [Bb] to sing
Too lonesome to [F] cry
[Dm]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[F]
Now if you ladies were blackbirds
[Bb]
If you ladies [F] were thrushes
I'd lie there [Dm] for hours
[Bb] In the cold [F] chilly marshes
If you ladies were
[Dm] squirrels
[Bb]
With high bushy [F] tails
I'd fill up [Bb] my shotgun
With rock [F] salt and ale
[Bb]
[Cm] [F] [C]
