Young girl, where's your husband?

Sadly, she replied, I do not have 
one
C                 G/C   Am
Then it's you I'll marry with your 
parents' permission

C      G/C   Am
No fine sir, they will not let me 
marry
   C
For I am a young girl
   G/C                   Am
And you are a man without money
          C             G/C
Then I'll come by your window
Am
Tonight when they both will be 
sleeping
[humming: Am - C - G/C - Am ]


C          G/C     Am
Outside your window in a carriage I 
will be waiting
       C                 G/C
They'll awake to find you gone
          Am
Open their eyes and think they're 
dreaming
   C              G/C
And never did they think
          Am
That their Abilene would leave them
[humming: Am - C - C/G - Am ]


C       G/C   Am
Now fine sir, where is it you shall 
take me?
      C               G/C
Is it in the mountains high
  Am
Or is it the deep blue sea?
