G                        C       G 
When I was young I had a girl so pretty 
G                        D       C 
When I was young I had a girl so true 
G                            C           G 
But you left town and headed out for the city 
G                           D           C 
And you said you were never coming back through 

G C G, G D C 

G                            C            G 
  You got a mama and a papa, sister and a brother 
G                    D          C 
But you ain't got no friends of mine 
G                        C            G 
You know I cant tell the one from the other 
G                                    D         C 
And since you've been gone, Ive been losing my mind. 

G D C 


           G             D           C 
And if you find your way back to the river 
         G       D           C 
Wont you wash my black water soul 
             G            D           C 
Cause I have found my own way back to shelter 
             Em      D (mute) 
But wont you fi----------nd your way back home 


G C G, G D C (x2) 

G                      C    G 
So I left town about a year ago 
G                                    D    C 
Ive been to New York, Tree Port, and Chicago 
G                               C         G 
And every now and then I send a post card home 
G                            D     C 
Cause being gone don't change being alone 

G                       C      G 
So if you ever miss the cotton fields 
G                                  D         C 
You can find me hanging around the Moonshine Still 
G                      C       G 
Come back home if your love is real 
G                           D     C 
Cause I ain't scared of the way I feel 

Chorus x2
