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