[E]
Let away [G] up [B] your river,
[Em] [A] about forty miles more,
When [E] the load of that old [B] big kid leave [E] and he blows,
He blows [G]
[B] so long, so [G] long, like [A] he won't go below no more,
He [E] won't blow like [B] my baby kid [E] no more,
I'm a poor [B] boy, [Em] [A]
a long way from [E] home,
They're [B] causing me to leave my one [E] good home,
I'm almost [G] [B] [G] dead, [A] my papa will be,
[E] Got nobody to [B] feel that [E] care for me,
And if you [G] [B] still want me, [Em] [A] you give me your hand,
[E] I'll get a woman, [B] we can [E] get a man,
Got a kid [Em] on [B] a wheeler, [E] and [A] a boundless long [E] plow,
And [B] a thumpin' good man bringin' down that John [E] Clow,
I lay [B] my head [E] [A] in a deceitful pond,
[E] As she [B] lay her nappy [E] head in mine,
When I [B] got arrested, [Em]
[A] what you reckon was my fine,
[E] As judge he give me a [B] liver to wear [E] tonight,
That [Em] big [Abm] new leaf [E] [A] gon' shine a light on [E] me,
And if [B] I will not get that off [E] every knee,
That big [G] [B] new leaf [G] [A] keep a -backin' up and down,
[E] She's a monster, [B] man, and she's [E] horrifying,
[Eb] [E]
