A typical Monongahela gal

D
She wandered one day by the river,

D
G
Her heart gave a leap and a quiver,
Em
D
as she caught the handsome
A
D
pilot's rolling eye.
Now his name, you must know,
A
was Moat Stanley,
D

And he wore a fancy sporting coat.

Now Mote gave a toot,

Em
D
Reached up and took Mote
A
Stanley's hand in hers.

A
D
It was love, careless love, by the river

It was love, careless love, by the shore

And I'm sure the good Lord

will forgive her
Em
D
For she never knew
A
Em
D
what love was like before

He swore that he always

would love her,

But that night overboard he did shove her,
Em

D
And then Moat Stanley

took it on the land.

And when she laid out that revolver,

fancy sporting coat.

Roll on, roll among the gila

where the catfish and the carp left
A
D
long ago you used to be so pure
G
but now you're just a sewer
D

messing up the Gulf of Mexico
