Verse 1
D 
As I was out walkin' and
A 
ramblin' one day
D 
A 
I spied a fair couple a -comin' my way
D 
A 
One was a lady as fair as could be
Bm 
G 
And the other was a cowboy
A 
D 
and a brave one was he
He said, where are you going,
A 
D 
my pretty fair maid?
Just down by the river,
just down by the shade
A 
D 
Just down by the river,
just down by the spring
A 
Bm 
G 
To see the wild rippling water
A 
D 
and hear the nightingale sing
Well they hadn't been
A 
D 
there but an hour or so
Till he drew from his satchel
A 
a fiddle and a bow
D 
He tuned his old fiddle
all on the high string
A 
Bm 
And he played this tune
G 
A 
D 
over and over again
Then said the cowboy,
A 
I should have been gone
D 
No, no, said the pretty maid,
A 
just play one more song
D 
I'd rather hear the fiddle
A 
just played on one string
Bm 
G 
Than see the wild rippling water
A 
and hear the nightingale
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
D 
A 
sing you
