Tonart: A minor•
Verse 1
Am
My name it is Joe Bowers,
D
I"ve got a brother Ike,
Am
Dm
I"m just here from Missouri,
D
Am
and all the way from Pike;
I"ll tell you why I left there and why I came to roam,
D
Am
And leave my aged parents
Am
I used to court a girl there, her
Am
I asked her if she"d marry,
she said it was a whack;
G
D
She says to me, "Joe Bowers,
Am
before we"ve hitched for life,
You ought to get a little home
D
to keep your little wife."
Am
F#
Bm
Says I, "My dearest Sally, oh
Am
D
F#
I"ll go to California and try
Am
Says she to me, "Joe Bowers,
you"re just the one to win."
She gave me a kiss to seal the bar
D
gain and throwed a dozen in.
Dm
Am
I"ll never forget my feel
D
ings when I bid adieu to all.
Bbm
D
Sal she cotched me around the neck, and I
When I began they all commenced, you never heard the like,
D
How they took on and cried and cried
Am
the day I left old Pike.
When I got to this country,
Bm
Am
I had nary a red;
I had such wolfish feelings,
I wished myself most dead.
G
Am
But the thoughts of my dear Sally soon made this feeling git,
Dm
And whispered hope to Bower
D
Am
s Lord, I wish I had "em yet.
Bm
At last I went to mining,
D
put in my biggest licks,
Am
D
Come down upon the boulders just
Am
like a thousand bricks;
D
I worked both late and early,
Am
in rain, in sun and snow,
F#
Am
I was working for my Sally,
Bm
D
Am
"twas all the same to Joe.
F#
One day I got a letter from
Am
G
It came from old Missouri
Am
all the way from Pike.
Bbm
D
It taught me the darndest
G
Am
news that ever you did hear,
D
My heart it is a- breaking,
Dm
Am
so please excuse this tear.
D
It said my Sal was false to me, that her love for me had fled,
Bbm
Am
That she had gotten married to
a butcher whose hair was red;
It told me more than that; it"s enough to make me swear,
That Sal had had a baby
Bm
and the baby had red hair.
Dm
D
Now I told you everything
Bm
D
about this sad sad affair,
Am
About Sally"s marrying the butcher
and the baby had red hair;
D
But whether it was a boy or girl
Am
the letter never said,
D
It only said the baby"s
hair was inclined to be red.
