Well early in the autumn when, the lovely dove was flying
D G C D
Mourning for his one true love, He can’t be blamed for crying..
G C D
he can’t be blamed for crying

Well the rooster he got 20 gals, well he’s happy as a lark
D G C D
Well he woke up in the morning time, put ‘em all to bed at dark..
G C D
Put ‘em all to bed at dark
[Chorus]

Well if you’d been true, if you’d been true

All I smell, is cheap perfume

And Gin, and Smoke, and Lies
[Verse 2]

Well Where were you last Saturday, all dressed up so pretty
D G C D G C D
With your blue eyed ballroom boy, in Oklahoma City.. in Oklahoma City

Well if you’d been true, if you’d been true

No One ever go down there, wonder what has happened..

Well early in the autumn when, the lovely dove was flying

Mourning for his one true love, He can’t be blamed for crying..
