This is _ _ from, _ _ _ _ I learned kind of [D] a version of Clarence Ashley [Bb] singing this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And, but [Gm] he didn't really finish the song on the record I had, and I found it later.
I said, oh, that song is really beautiful now.
[Bb] _ I know the meaning.
This is one of those morality play kind of things. _
[N] Usually the guy goes away to war or to sea or something, and he comes back seven years later. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ He plays his love of her and she's his as well.
So, _ this is some debate about whether this would actually work.
_ Do you think, _ _ _ ladies, [G] would you wait?
[Bb] Is that long?
No. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Time moves a lot more fast, more quickly than you think. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Anyway, yeah, this guy _ is going off to war and he pledges his love to his sweetheart,
and then [C] he comes back six years later, seven years later.

_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ He found me, _ I was in a garden, _ _ _
[Am] With a [Gm] stranger, _ _ [Fm] in a [Bb] riding bike.
_ He came up _ to me, he [Eb] came up to me,
He came up to me, he came up to me,
He came up to me, he came up to me,
[F] He [F] came up to me, _ _ he came [Bb] up to me,
He came up to me, he came up to me,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He [G] came [Gm] up to me, he came up to me,
[Bb] _ _ _ He came up to me, he came up _ to me,
He came up to me, he came [Eb] up to me,
_ He came up [F] to me, _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] he came up to me,

[Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Perhaps he's on _ _ some water who is drowning _
_ Perhaps [Gm] he's on _ _
[Bb] some battlefield _ slain _ _
Perhaps he's two, _ _ some fair [Eb] girl married
_ _ _ [Cm]
But, _ _ [F] _ _ see [Bb] him, _ _ _ _ _ he's drowned
_ But I hope he's happy
_ _ If [Gm] he's on _ _ some [Bb] battlefield _ slain _
But [Gm] if he's to _ _ [Eb] prepare to marry, _ _ I [Cm] love the girl.
_ _ _ [Bb] _

[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He'd pull this hand _ _ _ out of his pocket, _ _ [Gm] out his finger,
[Bb] wait for a golden _ ring.
_ _ _ [Gm] She'd [Bb]
saw _ that [Eb] man's shine, _ a different [F] _ song, _
a [Bb] heart that [Eb] sang. _ _
_ _ [Bb] He'd kiss her on [Eb] the cheek, all [Gm] around [Eb] her.
[Bb] _ _
[G] She'd say he's _ [Gm] gay, [Cm] the one, two, [Eb] three.
_ [Bb] _ He'd say [Gm] I'm a true _ _ and loving [Eb] soul.
_ _ _ Come back [Cm] _
home, _ marry [Gm] _ me. _

Pretty fair _ _ maid, [Ebm]
all [Bb] alone.
_ _ _ _ But a _ stranger _ [Gm] came riding by.
_ _ He [G] loved her, _ _ who'd get [Eb] him calling. _
_ Said [Cm] pretty fair _ maid, look at [Bb] me. _ _ _ _
