Verse:
N.C.                        E
There's a little girl a-waiting
E               A
Down by the old river
A                   E
Waiting just for my love
E               B7      N.C.
So I got to go meet her
                E
She says she is lonely
E           A
Just for me only
A                          E
I got to go down to please her
     B7         E     E7
Down by the old river

Chorus:
      A
She's been mine for years
A                                  E    E7
I haven't seen her in a long, long time
A
She said on my return
            A
If my love for her still burns
             B7   N.C
She would be mine

Verse:
                        E
There's a little girl a-waiting
 E              A
Down by the old river
                    E
Waiting just for my love
     B7             E   A E N.C.
So I got to go meet her

I haven't seen her in a long, long time

She said on my return
   A
If my love for her still burns
             B7   N.C.
She would be mine
