Saint Therese chords by The Stillwater Hobos
Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro: C, G, D, Em, C, G, D C G Darling mother would you guide my hand D Em My love she?s in America with a terry band C G Her dark-flowing hair rolls all down her breast D Em It?s as soft as the night that she went and left C G Sandy was the river that she walked D Em It was out the door and it was off the dock, C G The thunder ahead and the steamboat?s dreams D Em Of lily-white smoke and fine rafting things.
C, G D, Em x2 (With harmonica) C G She boarded that ship and she sent it well D Em Fast and lonesome as a kind farewell C G I asked her grace for twelve little towns D Em With a market in all and open fields around C G She took the East, and she took the West D Em Elizabeth?s the girl that I love the best C G My house was robbed when I shut the door D Em And boarded it up with a rusted oar. C G D An oar. C G Bring me a rose, St. Therese, St. Therese D Em Would you bring me a rose St. Therese, St. Therese C G All the little flowers are covered and blessed D Em Would you bring me a rose St. Therese. C, G, D, Em x2 (With harmonica) C G I saw her at the market just yesterday D Em I said hello but she looked the other way C G She wore a coat of black and two old shoes D Em And my eyes were light with the devil?s dues C G I gave her a whistle and three hundred cries D Em And there I found a rose as white as lye C G You can wash with water every day D Em But that dirt will stain your hide in the same old way. C G D That way. Chorus C, G, D, Em x2 (with harmonica) C, G, D, Em, C, G, D (with violin) C G Now two devils danced on a barrel of lime D Em You know they?re devils, mama, but you took a bad time C G It was a slipped-up jig with iron feet D Em That fled like a coward when lovers meet C G But there in the garden I can see you fine D Em Your hand full of roses smell better than wine C G To scatter your flowers for the one you love D Em As tender as the lightning in the sky above. C G D Em C G D Above, Above. C G Bring me a rose, St. Therese, St. Therese D Em Would you bring me a rose St. Therese, St. Therese. C G All the little flowers are covered and blessed D Em Would you bring me a rose St. Therese. C G D Em C G D A Rose, a rose. C G Now Bring me a rose, St. Therese, St. Therese Would you bring me a rose St. Therese, Therese. All the little flowers are covered and blessed
