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