    Many years have passed away and gone, 
                                             A 
    since I left my old native home, 
                D           D7                  G              D 
    since I left the scenes of my childhood there, 
                       A              A7         D 
    where the dark days seem to roam. 

       D        D7     G          D 
    I left my aged father there, 
                                                   A 
    and my mother so dear unto me, 
       D        D7       G                D 
    I left a brother and a sister fair, 
               A                   A7                        D 
    and a little girl that played upon my knee. 

                D           D7          G                    D 
    Don't Ginny remember, will she e?er forget 
                                                         A 
    those many hours of pleasure to me. 
                     D                       D7                    G                  D 
    Does she sigh when she thinks of those many happy hours, 
                 A                   A7                        D

    I am homeward bound with the thrills of joy 
                                                       A 
    of my wandering so far o'er the sea.

    I am tired of life, I cannot live, 
                                                        A 
    in this dark world so weary unto me.

    Come bury me low by the one I love so well,

    by the little girl that played upon my knee.
