[Verse 1]
DGD
In the beautiful hills, way back in Roane County
DA
There’s where I roamed for many long years
ADGD
There’s where my heart’s been tending most ever
DAD
That’s where the first step of misfortune I made
[Instrumental]
DDGDDDDAADGDDDADDDGDDDDAADGDDDADGAD
[Verse 3]
DGD
For twenty five years this whole world I rambled
DA
I went to old England to France and to Spain
ADGD
But I thought of my home way back in Roane County
DAD
I boarded a steamer and came back again
[Verse 4]
DGD
I was captured and tried in the village of Kingston
DA
Not a man in the county would speak one kind word
ADGD
When the jury came in with the verdict next morning
DAA
Was a lifetime in prison was the words that I heard
[Instrumental]
DDGDDDDAADGDDDAA
[Verse 5]
DGD
When the train pulled out poor mother stood weeping
DD
And sister she sat alone with a sigh
ADGD
And the last words I heard was Willie God bless you
DAD
Was Willie God bless you, God bless you, good-bye
[Verse 6]
DAD
In the scorching hot sands of the foundry I'm working
DA
Toiling and working my whole life away
ADGD
They'll measure my grave on the banks of the Cumberland
DAD
As soon as I finish the rest of my days
[Verse 7]
DAD
The jury was grave but the Judge he was better
DG
There’s better and worse, although you can see
GDAD
Boys when you write home from the prison in Nashville
DAD
Place one of my songs in your letter for me
