Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) Is it
Verse 1
recording now?
Oh, it is.
Well, she met him (D major) as she prom (G major) ised
I bet Adam's his spring (C major)
Expecting some money (D major)
Or some other fine thing (G major)
No money, no money
To fly to the case (C major)
I'll have to get mar (D major) ried
So there'll be no dis (G major) grace
So jump you up on me
And away we will ride (C major)
To yonder fair coun (D major) try
Where the cool waters glide (G major)
She jumped up behind him
And away they did ride (C major)
To yonder fair coun (D major) try
Where the deep wa (C major) ters glide (G major)
Now jump you down, old me
And I'll tell you my mind (C major)
My mom just to drown (D major) you,
and to leave you behind (G major)
She begged and she pleaded,
oh don't take my life (C major)
And I will deny (D major) you,
and I'll not be your wife (G major)
Mother, she kicked and he cuffed her
to the worst under (C major) stand
And he threw her (D major) in deep water
that flows through the (G major) land
They found her poor body the following day (C major)
A preacher (D major) an d a reverend,
Lord, they all began to pray (G major)
Then up spoke her mother
with a voice so es (C major) teemed
Nobody but John Lewis
(D major) could have done such a (G major) thing
They traced him up the waters
to Judge Charlie's (C major) Bend
I'm in (D major) jail for killin' a man
(G major) Go hang him, go hang him,
was at mother's com (C major) mand
And throw him (D major) in deep waters
that flows through the (G major) land
