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