Oh MDmary wA7as a mDmaiden
When the bFirds began to sCing
SDmhe was sweeter than the bFlooming rose
So eCarly in the sDmpring
Her tDmhoughts were gA7ay and hDmappy
And the mForning gay and fCine
FDmor her lover was a rFiver boy
From the rCiver in the pDmines
Dm A7 Dm A7
Now CDmharlie hA7e got mDmarried
To his MFary in the sCpring
WDmhen the trees were budding eFarly
And the bCirds began to sDming
But eDmarly iA7n the aDmutumn
When the fFruit is in the wCine
IDm'll return to you my dFarling
From the rCiver in the pDmines
Dm A7 Dm A7
It was eDmarly iA7n the mDmorning
In WiscFonsin's dreary cClime
WDmhen he rode the fatal rFapids
For that lCast and fatal tDmime
They fDmound his bA7ody lDmying
On the rFocky shore belCow
WDmhere the silent water rFipples
And the wChispering cedars bDmlow
Dm A7 Dm A7
Now eDmvery rA7aft of lDmumber
That comes dFown the ChippewCa
TDmhere's a lonely grave that's vFisited
By dCrivers on their wDmay
They pDmlant wild fA7lowers upoDmn it
In the mForning fair and fCine
'DmTis the grave of two young lFovers
From the rCiver in the pDmines
