Tuning Standard / No capo For "C" us (Muted Strumming) 1,2 1,2,3,4 When I was young I had a girl so pretty When I was young I had a girl so true But you left town and headed out for the city And you said you were never coming back through You got a mama and a papa, sister and a brother But you ain't got no friends of mine You know I cant tell the one from the other And since you've been gone, Ive been losing my mind. And if you find your way back to the river Wont you wash my black water soul Cause I have found my own way back to shelter (mute) But wont you fi----------nd your way back home (x2) So I left town about a year ago Ive been to New York, Tree Port, and Chicago And every now and then I send a post card home Cause being gone don't change being alone So if you ever miss the cotton fields You can find me hanging around the Moonshine Still Come back home if your love is real Cause I ain't scared of the way I feel Chorus x2
