Verse
D G
One evenin' in june as I rambled
D G
The green woods and valleys among
D G
Mosquitos were buzzin' harmonious
D G
In tune with the whippoorwill song
D A
The frogs in the marshes were croakin'
D Bm
The tree toads were whistlin' for rain
D G
And the partridges round me were drummin'
D G
On the banks of the little Eau Pleine
[Instrumental]
D A
[Verse III]
D G
It was then I beheld a young maiden
D G
Who was walkin' alone on the shore
D G
She was mournin' off for a young raftsman
D G
sayin' I fear I will see him no more
D A
He went off on a fleet with Ross Gamble
D Bm
And he left me in sorrow and pain
D G
And it's over two months since he started
D G
From the banks of the little Eau Pleine
[Instrumental]
D A
[Verse IV]
D G x1
His pants were made out of two meal sacks
D G
with a patch of foot square on each knee
D G x1
His shirt and his jacket were dyed
D G
with the bark of a butternut tree
D A x1
He wore a large open-faced ticker
D Bm
With almost a yard of steel chain
D G
when he went away with Ross Gamble
D G
From the banks of the little Eau Pleine
[Instrumental]
D A
[Verse V]
D G x1
He was stout and broad shouldered and manly
D G
His height was about six-foot-one
D G x1
His hair was inclined to be sandy
D G
His whiskers as red as the sun
D A x1
His name it was honest John Murphy
D Bm
And on it there nere was a stain
D G
For he loved the bold Wisconsin River
D G
It's the reason he left the Eau Pleine
[Instrumental]
D A
[Verse VI]
D G
If John Murphy's the name of your raftsman
D G
I used to know him very well
D G
But sad is the tale I must tell you
D G
Your Johnny was drowned in the dells
D A
We buried him 'neath the scrub Nor'way
D Bm
You'll never behold him again
D G
No stone marks the spot where your Johnny
D G
Sleeps far from the little Eau Pleine
[Instrumental]
D A
[Verse VII]
D G
My curses attend you Wisconsin
D G
May your rapids and falls cease to roar
D G x1
May every toll havin' sandbar
D G
Be as dry as a log schoolhouse floor
D A
May the willows on all of your islands
D Bm
Lie down like a field of ripe grain
D G
for takin' my only love Johnny
D G
From the Banks of the Little Eau Pleine
[Outro]
