You ought to see my Cindy, she lives way downtown.
She's so sweet, the honey bees all around her mouth.
[C] Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get [G] along home, Cindy, Cindy, [C] get along home, Cindy, Cindy.
I'll marry [G] you someday.
First to see my Cindy, she was standing in the door.
Shoes and stockings in her hand, her feet all over the floor.
[C] Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get [G] along home, Cindy, Cindy, [C] get along home, Cindy, Cindy.
I'll marry [G] you someday.
Play her something. _ _ _ _

_ Well, Cindy got religion, you know just what she does.
She went up to the minister, shot her two and guns.
[C] Get along home, Cindy, [G] Cindy, get along home, [C] Cindy, Cindy, get along home, Cindy, Cindy.
I'll marry [G] you someday. _ _

[G] _ _ Cindy is a pretty girl, Cindy is a peach.
Thread her arms around my neck, hung on like a leash.
[C] Get along home, Cindy, [G] Cindy, get along home, Cindy, Cindy, [C] get along home, Cindy, Cindy.
I'll marry [G] you someday.

_ [G] Well, if I was an apple hanging on a tree,
every time my Cindy passed, she'd take a little bite of me.
Get [C] along home, Cindy, [G] Cindy, get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get [C] along home, Cindy, Cindy.
[D] I'll marry you [G] someday.
I had a thread of needle, fine as I could sew,
so that gown of Michael Taylor's gown, where would I [C] go?
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, [G] get along home, Cindy, [C] Cindy, get along home, Cindy, Cindy.
[D] I'll marry you someday.
One more time. _ _ _

_ _ _ Hey, Sonny.
Every time we get together, I ask you to sing that old song of O'Lead Belly's.
He used to come around to the hoots, you remember.
[E] Yeah, that's right.
And funny, I guess as long as he was singing this song, we didn't sing it so much.
He sang it so well.
But I think he'd be awful proud the way the whole world has picked up his music.
Wherever he is, _ old Hudy would be just so happy to know that millions of young people
picked up his song, didn't forget him.
And he himself, of course, never made any money.
He was on relief half the time, you remember?
Because some people thought, well, that old-fashioned music. _ _
And it wasn't until after he died that people really started picking it up.
Good night, Irene.
Midnight special.
Bring me a little water, Sylvie.
But you know the one I'm thinking of, Rock Island Line.
_ _ Yeah.
What are you going to do out [N] here?
_ I can keep up with you all.
Try it.
_ But this guitar here.
Still the Rock Island Line. _
