The pause of the morning, it gave me a chill,

I found myself a place to stay out from the cold,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Where the air & the fishing was free,

& my crazy ways I did not have to hide,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G
On the banks of the black swanee.

& I drank away my lonely nights.

When the solitude I could not stand?

For I know now to not compromise.
