Oh my, my, my-


🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC            A minorAm
In a dusty caravan was a girl with a golden tan
    FF         G+G      C majorC   G+G
And she asked me if I was headed to the east
          C majorC        A minorAm
I politely stepped aside and said I did not need a ride
     FF       G+G        C majorC
That I'd rather take my chances with the heat
        E MajorE            A minorAm
Well, when she turned and walked away I saw my big mistake
      FF            G+G
There were jewels on her body oh-so-rare
    C majorC            A minorAm
Had it been another day I just might have rode away
     FF      G+G        C majorC
With that woman riding off to God-knows-where

🎸 Verse 2:
    C majorC                   A minorAm
So the years they came and went, and found me living in a tent
FF      G+G       C majorC   G+G
Far above a little marble stream
    C majorC                 A minorAm
And it may have been the light that shone out through the night
   FF         G+G        C majorC
That attracted the hand scratching on my screen
    E MajorE                          A minorAm
When I cautiously looked out through the night there was no doubt
     FF              G+G
That the owner of that hand was that girl
   C majorC              A minorAm
So I bid her do come in and I'll open up a tin
     FF         G+G        C majorC
If you'll tell me 'bout your trip around the world

🎸 Verse 3:
     C majorC                A minorAm
Well, she said, "If you think back to the first time that we passed
  FF          G+G      C majorC
I'm sure you'll picture me in all my jewels
    C majorC             A minorAm
It was shortly after then that I ran into another man
   FF       G+G           C majorC
And I asked him the same question I asked you
    E MajorE              A minorAm
But now he, he didn't refuse and he took off of both his shoes
  FF              G+G
And climbed aboard my east-bound caravan
    C majorC             A minorAm
In the twinkling of the night he knocked me off the side
  FF         G+G       C majorC
And left me there for dead upon the sand

🎸 Verse 4:
   C majorC             A minorAm
And I thought I was done, lying naked in the sun
   FF     G+G
When much to my surprise, who should pass?
     C majorC                A minorAm
But this old friend of yours, he said he knew you from the wars
   FF        G+G          C majorC
And I told him that I thought you'd headed west
     E MajorE                   A minorAm
Well, he said he should have known, 'cause you like to be alone
  FF                 G+G
And that's the time I knew you were my one
   C majorC               A minorAm
So I asked him for a ride, just to get here by your side
  FF          G+G         C majorC
And stay here above this stream out of the sun"

🎸 Verse 5:
C majorC
Well, we sat quiet for a while
  A minorAm
And I began to smile
      FF     G+G          C majorC   G+G
And I said well it's strange but I don't care
  C majorC                       A minorAm
And some nights when I'm at rest
I wonder if I'd said, "yes"
  FF             G+G        C majorC
If she'd have come to me from God knows where
     E MajorE                A minorAm
Or would I have been the one to leave her lying in the sun
     FF              G+G
And then ended up with only precious stones
       C majorC          A minorAm
Or would the woman in my arms be giving me her charms
    FF       G+G        C majorC
If the answer that I gave her wasn't "no"
