Transcribed: Chuck Haynie
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

CHO
