Verse 1
Am
Dm
I"m just here from Missouri,
D
Am
and all the way from Pike;
I"ll tell you why I left there and why I came to roam,
D
Am
And leave my aged parents
she said it was a whack;
G
D
She says to me, "Joe Bowers,
You ought to get a little home
Am
F#
Bm
Says I, "My dearest Sally, oh
Am
D
F#
I"ll go to California and try
you"re just the one to win."
She gave me a kiss to seal the bar
Dm
Am
I"ll never forget my feel
Bbm
D
Sal she cotched me around the neck, and I
When I began they all commenced, you never heard the like,
When I got to this country,
Bm
Am
I had nary a red;
I had such wolfish feelings,
I wished myself most dead.
G
Am
But the thoughts of my dear Sally soon made this feeling git,
D
Am
s Lord, I wish I had "em yet.
Am
D
Come down upon the boulders just
F#
Am
I was working for my Sally,
Bm
D
Am
"twas all the same to Joe.

G
It came from old Missouri
Bbm
D
It taught me the darndest
G
Am
news that ever you did hear,
Dm
Am
so please excuse this tear.
D
It said my Sal was false to me, that her love for me had fled,
Bbm
Am
That she had gotten married to
a butcher whose hair was red;
It told me more than that; it"s enough to make me swear,
That Sal had had a baby
Dm
D
Now I told you everything
Bm
D
about this sad sad affair,
and the baby had red hair;
hair was inclined to be red.
