[Verse 1]
   F                  C7
In old Oklahoma right close to 
Chickashay
                                F
The high-sheriff he come and he took
 me away
                   Bb
Down in the valley   over the dale
      C7                      
I see Shawnee a cryin' from my 
        F
lonely cell

[Chorus]
             F
Well, I hear love birds a singin'
C7
Whoo hoo-hoo hoo hee

My heart strings a playin'
F
Lo oh-oh oh-oh oh he
                              C7
Make plans my little lovebird for 
our weddin' day
I'll be home before you miss me and 
                F
I'll be home to stay

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
            Bb            F
Well it's a been a year today
C                  F
Since they put me away
Bb                F
I'm a comin' home never to roam
    C7             F    G
Yes I'll be home today

G                          D
  I'm bustin' rocks with a number 
nine sledge
The guardman's a watchin' me from a 
G
top of the ledge
                    Em
All I get to eat is water and bread
    D                              
I'm missin' your kissin' my little 
     G
Shawnee
