Lyrics

Am        C   G
Oh Mary was a maiden
Dm             Am
The birds began to sing
C                   G
She was fairer than the blooming
F             Am
Rose in early spring


Am                 C       G
Her thoughts were fair and happy
Dm              Am
The morniní was gay and fine
C                   G
Her lover was a river boy
F                   Am
From the river in the pines


Am        C   G
Charlie he got married
Dm             Am
To his Mary in the spring
C                   G
When the trees were budding early
F                 Am
And the birds began to sing


Am        C   G
Early in the autumn
Dm               Am
When the fruit is in the wine
C                   G
Iíll return to you my darling
F                 Am
From the river in the pines


Am        C   G
Early in the morning
Dm             Am
Wisconsins dreary clime
C                   G
Where they rolled the deadly rapids
F                 Am
For the last and fatal time


Am                   C   G
They found the bodies lying on
Dm             Am
The rocky shore below
C                   G
Where the silent water rippled
F                  Am
And the whisperiní cedars blow


Am        C   G
Now every raft of lumber
Dm             Am
That comes down the river there
C                     G
There ís a lovely grave that's visited
F              Am
By the drivers on their way


Am              C   G
They lay the wild flowers on
Dm             Am
In the morniní fair and fine
C                   G
Itís a grave of two young lovers
F               Am
From the river in the pines


Am        C   G
Oh Mary was a maiden
Dm             Am
And the birds began to see
C                   G
She was fairer than the blooming
F             Am
Rose in early spring
