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
