[D]
I'm folks you have heard the story [A] and the song for [D] 21 years
All about two lovers [A] parted, of their sorrows, [D] pain and tears
[G] I am another whose [D] heart broke, [G] and I'm in this lonesome [D] jail
[A]
[D] I was once an honest stranger, [A] tried for fame but soon [D] I failed
I was a cowboy singer,
[A] and I played the [D] old guitar
But my mind was set on roaming, [A] I started out for lambs if [D] I
[E]
[G] Soon fell in with bad [D]
companions, [G] and we robbed a southern [D] [A] male
[D] Shot and killed some helpless lady,
[A] as I think my face [D] grows pale
Oldly, [A] oldly, [D] oldly, I had a pretty sweetheart, [A] and she thought the world [D] of me
But we [Em] parted at [D] this station, [A] down in sunny [D] Tennessee
[G] Last night from her I got [D] a letter, [G] saying I can never be [D] your bride
[A] [D]
As the moon shone through my window,
[A] I bowed down my [D] head and cried
Nevermore [G] we'll stroll [D] together, [A]
down in dear old Lubbers
[D]
I must serve my life in prison, I [A] pray on high we'll [D] meet again
Oldly, [A] oldly, [D] oldly,
[Bb] [D]
I'm folks you have heard the story [A] and the song for [D] 21 years
