Oh, it is.

Well, she met him as she promised
Bb
I bet Adam's his spring
C
Expecting some money
F
Or some other fine thing
No money, no money
Bb
To fly to the case
C
I'll have to get married
F
So there'll be no disgrace
So jump you up on me
Bb
And away we will ride
C
To yonder fair country
F
Where the cool waters glide
She jumped up behind him
Bb
And away they did ride
C
To yonder fair country
Bb
F
Where the deep waters glide
Now jump you down, old me
Bb
And I'll tell you my mind
C
My mom just to drown you,
F
and to leave you behind
She begged and she pleaded,
Bb
oh don't take my life
C
And I will deny you,
F
and I'll not be your wife
Mother, she kicked and he cuffed her

And he threw her in deep water

Then up spoke her mother

They traced him up the waters

C
And throw him in deep waters
F
that flows through the land
