Verse 1
She could (G major) never give up
the homestead on the farm (D major)
Where they handed off tobacco
in the big tobacco barn (G major)
And the long straight rows that ran
From the house down to the road (D major)
That went to AP Carter's door
down the logging truck she (G major) rode

Cre (D major) ated to be conquered
by this poor valley (G major) girl
