[Verse 1]

  Em
I had a pretty daughter we lived all alone
D                                              Em
Worked the fields together and made our self a home
  Em
I sent her off to school and rested in the shade
    D                                      Em
Had supper on the table and my bed already made
    Em
The women in the town taught her how to dress
  D                                                   Em
I taught her about farming, in school she learned the rest
       Em
Pretty daughter don’t you love me or I’ll be left alone
        D                                       Em
There’s no one in the holler that I can call my own
  Em
I know some day a man will come and take you far away
    D                                              Em
And every morn' since you was born I pray it ain’t today


[Chorus]

       Em
Pretty daughter
       D
Pretty daughter


[Verse 2]

  Em
I caught her in the woods with a boy from town
  D                                            Em
I took a pick axe to him and laid him right on down
    Em
The sheriff came a lookin' bout noon the next day
   D                                                  Em
By six o clock they locked him up and throw'd the key away
       Em
Pretty daughter don’t you love me or I’ll be left alone
        D                                       Em
There’s no one in the holler that I can call my own
  Em
I know some day a man will come and take you far away
    D                                              Em
And every morn' since you was born I pray it ain’t today


[Outro]

       Em
Pretty daughter
       D
Pretty daughter

         Em                     D                             Em
