[Intro]
D G A Bm G A D
[Verse 1]
DBaby's gone and i don't know wGhy
She hAeaded out this mBmorning
DLike a rusty shot in a hollow Gsky
She lAeft me without wDarning
[Verse 2]
DSooner than the dogs could barGk
AFaster than the Bmsun rose
DDown to the banks in an old muGle cart
She tAook a flat boat D'cross the shallows
[Chorus]
Left me in my tGears to drown
She lAeft a baby dauBmghter
Now Dthe river's wide and deep and bGrown
She's cArossing muddy wDaters
[Verse 3]
DTobacco standing in the fieldsG
BeA rotten come NovBmember
And a Dbitter heart will not reGveal
A sprAing that love reDmembers
[Verse 4]
DWhen that sweet brown girl of Gmine
AHair black as Bma raven
We Dbroke the bread and drank the Gwine
From a Ajug that she'd been Dsaving
[Chorus]
Left me in my tGears to drown
She lAeft a baby dauBmghter
DNow the river's wide and deep and bGrown
She's cArossing muddy wDaters
[Verse 4]
DBaby's crying and the daylight's Ggone
AThat big oak tree is Bmgroaning
In a Drush of wind and a river Gsong
I can Ahear my true love moDaning
DCrying for her Gbaby child
Oh Acrying for her Bmhusband
Crying for that Drivers Gwild
To Atake her from her loDved ones
[Chorus]
Left me in my tGears to drown
She lAeft a baby dauBmghter
DNow the river's wide and deep and brGown
She's cArossing muddy wDaters
[Outro]
DNow the river's wide and deep and bGrown
She's cArossing muddy wDaters
D G A Bm D G A D D D
