The Stillwater Hobos — French Broad River

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

      D
 Last morning I did tread the creek 
 G
 Thinking how my boots do leak 
      D
‘Twas then that I was fain to speak 
    A              D
 To all you Naiads dear. 

Chorus:
           D
 Well I’ll swim the french broad river 
       G
 And become a little thinner 
        D
 When I lay me down to dinner 
    A
 At Dixie’s house to dine. 
           D
 Well I’ll order in the brandy 
     G
 And wine and summer shandy 
   D
 A stronger braver man I’ll be 
     A               D
 For thee and me and mine.


   D
 A year ago today I sprung 
      G
 From stone to rock aye every one 
  D
 Amid the river wash and run 
 A
 With my sweat-heart near. 
     Bm
 The river-rocks did hold their fire 
     G
 And with them my true love’s desire 
     D
 And Johnny if you’ll be my squire 
      A   
 I’ll take you as my dear.

Chorus

     D
 But Janus meant to bind the lees 
        G
 With a tether of ice about the knees 
     D
 And when the river walk did freeze 
    A
 My true love to me sang. 
      Bm
 Last year I drank you down so wild 
      G
 When you were cordial as a child 
   D
 A tasty draft of bitter-and-mild 
     A
 The glass it loudly rang. 

Chorus

     D
 Had I the cocky red-breast song 
    G
 To whistle Dixie all night long 
     D
 For all the world that’s suffered wrong 
     A
 And all you naiads dear.

Last Chorus

           D
 Well I'll swim the french broad river 
       G
 And become a little thinner 
        D
 When I lay me down to dinner 
    A
 At Dixie’s house to dine. 
           D
 Well I’ll order in the brandy 
     G
 And wine and summer shandy 
   D
 A stronger braver man I’ll be 
     A               
 For thee and me and . . .
         D
 Well I’ll swim the french broad river 
       G
 And become a little thinner 
        D
 When I lay me down to dinner 
    A
 At Dixie’s house to dine. 
           D
 Well I’ll order in the brandy 
     G
 And wine and summer shandy 
   D
 A stronger braver man I’ll be 
     A           D    
 For thee and me mine.
