Verse 1
(A minor) Mary Jenkins lived about
a half a mile from town
Not too far, not too near, but in between (E major)
She (A minor) lived in a big white house
with flowers in the yard
Ivy climbing up (E major) the window screen (A minor)
One morning when the old gray rooster
crowed the coming dawn
Mary Jenkins rose up from her (E major) bed
She dressed (A minor) in aid
and went outside
to do her daily chores
To milk the cows and (E major) get the
chickens fed (A minor) (B flat minor) (A minor) (F major)
(F sharp major) She (B flat minor) gathered eggs, slopped the hogs,
went out to the barn
Pitched up the sorrel and the (F major) roam
Then she climbed (B flat minor) into her buggy
and gave the reins a flick
Rode toward the de (F major) pot all alone (B flat minor)
She waited for an hour
and the train came a -rollin' in
She backed the team into the station yard (F major)
And a (B flat minor) coffin wasn't loaded
in place to board her rig
She rode back to her (F major) farm without
a (B flat minor) word (F major) (A minor) (B minor)
She hired some boys to dig the grave
and help her with the box
While the heat of the noonday
danced around (F sharp major)
She took off (B minor) the flag
and metal that fastened to the lid
Filled the hole and stuck
the cross (F sharp major) into the (B minor) ground
Then she sat down in her rocking chair
to rest a little while
And once again by candlelight she (F sharp major) read
That (B minor) let ter with the solemn words
and fancy foreign names
Then she rocked a while,
prayed, (F sharp major) put out the light,
and went to bed (B minor)
