I'm a stone's throw from the mill, and [Ab] I'm a good walk [F] to the river,
[Eb]
[Abm] When my working day [Eb] is over, we'll [Cm] go swim [D] our cares [Eb] away. _ _
_ _ _ Put your toes down in the water, _ _ [Ab] and a smile [Eb] across your face,
[Ab] And tell me that [Eb] you love me, _ [Cm] _ [D] lovely lady [Eb] May.
_ _ _ _ _ Now [Cm] I ain't [Dm] the [Eb] sharpest chisel that [Ab] your hands have ever [Eb] held, _
[Cm] But darling [D] I could love [Eb] you well, _ _ _ [Abm] till the rose calls [Eb] on. _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] I've seen [D] my share [Eb] of trouble, _ [Abm] and I've held [Cm] my weight [Eb] in shame,
_ _ But [Ab] I'm baptized in [Eb] your name, _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ [Gm] lovely lady [Eb] May. _ _ _

_ _ _ Lord the wind can leave you shivering, _ _ [Ab] as it waltzes over the [Eb] leaves,
_ It's [Cm] been rushing [Eb] through my timber, till your love brought on the spring. _ _ _ _
Now the mountains all are blushing, _ [Ab] and they don't know what [Eb] to say, _
[Cm] Except a good [Dm] long [Eb] line of praises for [Ab] my lovely lady [Eb] May. _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] Now I [Dm] ain't the [Eb] toughest hickory that [Ab] your axe has [Eb] ever fell,
_ [Ab] But I'm a hickory just [Eb] as well, _ [Cm] I'm a [Gm] hickory all [Eb] the same.
_ _ _ _ I [Cm] came crashing [F] through the forest, [Eb]
[Ab] as you cut my [Eb] roots away, _
And [Ab] I fell a good [F] long [Eb] ways for [Cm] my [Dm] lovely lady [Eb] May. _ _
