Walk Through The Bottomland

  C          F      G         C
A New Jersey lady I knew long ago
    F         Em     G7
And she was a lady I say
    C         F          G        
But she met a cowboy who rode on a 
 C
rodeo
    F            G             C
And he stole her heart straight away

    C          F        G        
The New Jersey lady she loved him
    C
 so true
  F          Em        G7
Another love she never had
    C           F            G   
But cowboys are lonesome and 
        C
cowboys are blue
    F             G         C
And they make the ladies so sad

[Chorus]
                F         C
                Sing me a melody
                F         C
                Sing me a blues
                F               
                Walk through the 
 C          G          C
bottomland without no shoes
                F               
                The Brazos she's 
 C
running scared
                F             C
                She heard the news
                F               
                Walk through the 
 C          G          C
bottomland without no shoes

    C          F         G       
The New Jersey lady knew he loved
     C
 her too
        F        Em            G7
And you know she tried to hold on
        C     F            G     
But the rodeo life was the life 
       C
that he knew
   F           G         C
He had to keep drifting along

C         F           G         
She never married and she never 
C
would
    F          Em            G7
And all of the people they'd say
    C          F        G        
The New Jersey lady she just 
     C
ain't no good
   F        G           C
To follow a cowboy that way

[Chorus]
                F         C
                Sing me a melody
                F         C
                Sing me a blues
                F               
                Walk through the 
 C          G          C
bottomland without no shoes
                F               
                The Brazos she's 
 C
running scared
                F             C
                She heard the news
                F               
                Walk through the 
 C          G          C
bottomland without no shoes

[Verse]
    F          C           G     
The lady she'd sing him to sleep 
       C
in the night
    F      Em           G
And in the morning he'd go
F             C            G    
She loved the darkness and hated
     C
 the light
D                        G
Along with that damn rodeo

    C          F        G        
The New Jersey lady the day that 
   C
he died
    F           Em        G7
She covered him over with clay
    C           F           G    
And feeling the wind in the night
        C
 as she cried
F             G          C
She heard the old cowboy say

[Chorus]
                F         C
                Sing me a melody
                F         C
                Sing me a blues
                F               
                Walk through the 
 C          G          C
bottomland without no shoes
                F               
                The Brazos she's 
 C
running scared
                F             C
                She heard the news
                F               
                Walk through the 
 C          G          C
