By the banks of the river where the willows grow cold
           Bb                          F
Wild birds warble the strange sounding song
                    Bb                         F
By the banks of the river where the waters run cold

He lays there each night all alone and he weeps

Nothing ain't worse than a night without sleep
                Bb                             F
The letters she wrote him they were written in vain
                    Bb                         F
But I know that her conscience still echoes my name

If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes
                  Bb                      F
I'd lay there for hours in the cold rainy marshes
                   Bb                                F
If the ladies were squirrels (yeah) with a big bushy tail
               Bb                         F
I'd fill up my shotgun with-a rock salt and nails

We'd fill up our shotguns with-a rock salt and nails
