Many years have passed away and gone,
A
since I left my old native home,
D D7 G D
since I left the scenes of my childhood there,
A A7 D
where the dark days seem to roam.
D D7 G D
I left my aged father there,
A
and my mother so dear unto me,
D D7 G D
I left a brother and a sister fair,
A A7 D
and a little girl that played upon my knee.
D D7 G D
Don't Ginny remember, will she e'er forget
A
those many hours of pleasure to me.
D D7 G D
Does she sigh when she thinks of those many happy hours,
A A7 D
when a little girl she played upon my knee ?
( D G D A D )
D D7 G D
I am homeward bound with the thrills of joy
A
of my wandering so far o'er the sea.
D D7 G D
I shall soon see my home, my old native home
A A7 D
and the little girl that played upon my knee.
( D G D A D )
D D7 G D
I am tired of life, I cannot live,
A
in this dark world so weary unto me.
D D7 G D
Come bury me low by the one I love so well,
A A7 D
by the little girl that played upon my knee.
