I had a job in the great north woods,
G

working as a cook for a spell.

So I drifted down to New Orleans,
G

where I was lucky to be employed.

Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
D

But all the while I was alone

Then she opened up a book of poems,

handed it to me
G

Written by some Italian poet

And every one of them words rang true

and glowed like burning coal
D

Pouring off of every page,
G

like they were written in my soul
