Verse 1
One, (G major) two, three. (C major) (G major)
In the south end of the county
Near the (C major) highway an (G major) d the trains
Was (C major) a river long (G major) since dried up
A river just the same
When I was just a boy
I would lie (C major) there on (G major) it s banks
Verse 2
with my (C major) brother in (G major) the summer
and Maria Sugar Cane.
Verse 3
And my (G major) brother was born shaky,
and he (C major) wore our father's (G major) rage.
And he (C major) stumbled through the
(G major) autumn
underneath the winter's wake.
Verse 4
And he rode a motorcycle,
and he drived (C major) down to the (G major) banks
Of the (C major) river in the (G major) summer
with Maria Sugarcane
And how they loved each other
And their (C major) love was wild as (G major) hope
And (C major) none would come (G major) between them
But my father's wandering ghost
And I had seen him beat her
Time and time before
But (C major) as I loved (G major) my brother
I love Maria so much more
I loved her young and pretty
And I (C major) loved her wild and (G major) strong
(C major) An d I'd never loved (G major) another
I'd loved her for so long
And never would I hurt her
Never see (C major) her meet with (G major) harm
When I told (C major) her how I'd (G major) found her
and she fell into my arms.
I told her how I'd found him
down there (C major) by the riverbank (G major) s,
that (C major) the angels were around (G major) him,
but that I was just too late,
and they carried him off to heaven
with (C major) my father's sins and (G major) all,
But (C major) I did not hear the (G major) shout,
and I did not see him fall
And Maria loved my brother
with her (C major) purest, bluest eye (G major) s
And he carried (C major) it in (G major) paper,
and it never left his side
And I married her two summers past,
the year (C major) my brother (G major) died
And though some (C major) times I (G major) hear her,
I've never seen her cry
And I know Maria loves me,
but it (C major) just ain't (G major) the same
It's the way (C major) she loved my (G major) brother
in those summers on the banks
Of the river long since dried up,
Mari (C major) a's sugar cane
(G major) In the south (C major) end of the (G major) county,
near the highway and the trains
In the south end of the county,
near the highway (C major) and the (G major) trains
There's a river (C major) long since (G major) dried up,
a river just the same
And that's where I found my brother,
and (C major) Maria's one (G major) true love
I knew (C major) that I would (G major) kill her,
and Maria, she would come (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
In the corner of the graveyard,
near the spot my brother lays
Far (C major) past the (G major) noble families,
two more plots are saved
When I and fair Maria
have seen our (C major) fi nal days
(G major) May they bury (C major) her (G major) between us,
Maria Sugarcane
(G major)
Maria Sugarcane
