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