_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Anything I've _ [C] _ _ _ _ been wanting _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ All _ _ _ _ _ along _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Abm] the old back road
_ _ [Dbm] People stopped [B] to talk at her garden _ gate _ _
_ While _ inside [A] the family [Abm] cried all through the night _
Because [E] the old woman [B] _ had passed _ _ away _ _
_ _ I loved her so [A] and oh she [Abm] was a special _ one _
A [E] lovely lady [B] _
and a gentle old soul
_ _ [Gb] _
_ [B] _ And she [A] taught me to [Abm] sing an old folk song _
That's [Dbm] got a melody [B] of a hundred years ago
_ _ And she sang a [Abm] come a-loo, come a-loo, come a-hi-lo
A come [Dbm] down the merry _ _ street
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ I'm [B] remembering _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Those [A] memories have given [Abm] me so _ much
_ [Dbm] She wore her [Gb] age so [B] gracefully _ _ _ _ _
It _ was [A] not a living thing [Abm] that she did not _ love _
_ [Dbm] And I pray that there [Gb] is a little of [B] her in _ _ me _
_ _ _ _ Oklahoma [A] _ _
in [Abm] the summertime _ _ _
_ [Dbm] In a rocking chair [Gb] she's a-singing there [B] on the _ porch _ _
_ While the hounds [A] are howling [Abm] through the hot black night
And that [Dbm] old fox, well he's a-running [B] like he never has done before _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ When you hear [Abm] the melody _ [A] and when I play [Abm] my _ song
[A] _ Every note [Abm] you hear from [B] me she's singing _ _ _ right _ along
_ And she sang a [Abm] come a-loo, come a-loo, come a-hi-lo
A come [Dbm] down the merry street _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
I'm [B] remembering _ _ _ _
Along _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Abm] the old back road
_ [Dbm] When people stopped [Gb] to talk at her [B] garden _ _ _ _ gates
And _ _ _ [A] _
they cried [Abm] all through the _ night
_ [Eb] Did you [Db] hear that old [E] Mrs.
Whitten
_ Has [Gb] _ _
passed _ away _ [B] _ _
today _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Come a-loo, come a-loo, come a-hi-lo
Come down the merry street
_ [Abm] _
[B] Come a-rattin' tam-tam and a dippy dippy dow
Hear the row, the bow, wow wow
The bugles horn, the big fire diddle and the hidey-ho
Through the woods we're gonna roam, boys
Through the woods we're gonna roam
Come a-loo, come a-loo, come a-hi-lo
Come down the merry street
_ Come a-rattin' tam-tam and a dippy dippy dow _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
