G                       G7              C
Where the Mississippi?s Flowing on it?s sunny sorthern shore
        D                                        G D
And the Steamboat comes a puffing round the bend
          G              G7           C
There?s a little old log cabin with a grapevine o?re the door
             D                          G   D
And a little whitewashed chimney at the end

G                  G7              C
Oh, I went away up North when they told me I would find
      D                                       G D
Money hanging round like apples on the trees
    G                 G7                C
But like my sweetheart told me there was nothing of the kind
        D                                 G      D
And the weather was so cold I thought I?d freeze

    G               G7                C                    G
I?m going back, yes going back to the place I love so well
                                          D     D7
To the folks who?ll want me all their own again
       G                    G7       C
To the little old log cabin with the grapevine o?re the door
      D                                      G D
And a little whitewashed chimney at the end.

G                    G7                C
I can see that smoke arising from that little chimney top
      D                                      G D
As it welcomes me and meets me on the breeze
G                 G7            C
Then I?ll start a running and I know I?ll never stop
         D                                G D
Til I?ve landed in that cabin on my knees
