Where the (A) Mississippi’s flowing on it’s (D) sunny southern (B) shores
And the (E) steamboat comes a_puffing round the (A) bend
There's a little old log cabin with a (D) grape vine o're the (B) door
And a (E) little whitewashed chimney at the (A) end
Oh, I went away up North when they told me I would find
Money hanging around like apples on the tree
But it was as my sweetheart told me there was nothing of the kind
And the weather was so cold I thought I'd freeze
CHO:
I'm (A) going back, yes, going back to the (D) place I love so (A) well
To the folks who'll want me all their own (E) again
To the (A) little old log cabin with the (D) grape vine o're the (B) door
And a (E) little white washedchimney at the (A) end
Verse, CHO Instrumental
I can see the smoke a rising from that little ol’ chimney top
As it welcomes me and greets me on the breeze
Then I’ll start a_running and I know I'll never stop
Till I've landed in that cabin on my knees
