By the banks of the river             Where the willows hang down               And wild birds they warble

                                  Dsus2  C  Dsus2                      Em                  C                                            G    C   G

With a low moaning sound          Way down in the hollow,                           Where the river runs cold

It   was     there   I    first  listened            to the lies that you told.

 Now I lie on my back,            and  I see your sweet face.                 The past   I    re member,

 Time can’t erase              And the letters you wrote me           they were written in shame

And I know that your conscience,          Still echoes my name

Now if the ladies were blackbirds             if the ladies were thrushes               I’d lie there for hours,     in the

chilly cold marshes             And if the women were squirrels               with them high bushy tails,

I’d load up my  shotgun           With rock salt and nails              I’d fill up my  shotgun             with rock

salt and nails.
