I traveled from

Through valleys or mountains and plains

D
A
Both foot sore and weary, I rested a while
E
On the banks of the old
A
Bonchard train
D
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
A

Passed by as it started to rain
A
We both found a shelter
D

beneath the same tree

On the banks of the old

I'm hoping and praying someday to return

to the banks of the old
