[Verse 1]

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

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