Вступление
[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am
She was the parson's only daughter
Am
And a poor sharecropper's dream
Am
Her voice as sweet as falling water
Am
From the cool clear mountain stream
[Verse]
Am
We came to share a love forbidden
Am
A union cursed by family
Am
To be forever unforgiven
Am
When we swore eternity
[Verse]
Am
We settled hard on twenty acres
G Am
Ploughed the fields and worked the land
Am
But when the fever came to take her
G Am
With its unforgiving hand
[Verse]
Dm Am
I tried to soothe her shaking body
G D
But no peace could I provide
Dm Am
She said, "I hear the angels singing softly
G Am
I'm bound to cross that great divide"
[Verse]
Dm Am
Take my ashes to the river
G D
Where the water's cold and deep
Dm Am
Take my ashes to the river
G Am
Pray the lord my soul to keep
[Verse]
Am
One mournful morning in late November
G Am
Faithful to her last desire
Am
I burned her body down to embers
G Am
Scooped the ashes from the fire
[Verse]
Dm Am
Down on the banks of the Blackstone River
G D
For to drown her memory
Dm Am
As her spirit I delivered
G Am
I heard her calling out to me
[Verse]
Dm Am
Take my ashes to the river
G D
Where the water's cold and deep
Dm Am
Take my ashes to the river
G Am
Pray the lord my soul to keep
[Outro]
Am
