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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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]
