By the creek the cattle are lowing

Ah! I know why thou are blushing, 
        Em
Bonnie Jess
           C        Em
'Tis the memory appearing
           C            Em

           C                 Em
And my horse's hooves are ringing
     C                  Em
As along the road i'm swinging
       C                  Am   
And a song for thee i'm singing, 
        Em
Bonnie Jess
         G                 Am     
And the wedding ring i'm bringing,
       G
