E

ELook out, Mama,
there's a Awhite boat
comin' up the EriverA/E
With a Abig red beacon,

and a flag,
and a man on the ErailA/E
I think you'd Abetter call John,
'Cause it C♯mdon't

look like they're here
to deEliver, the Amail
And it's A♭mless than a mile aAway
I A♭mhope they didn't come to Astay
It's got A♭mnumbers on the side
      C♯m

And it's makin' big Bwaves.

E  A/E

EDaddy's gone,
my brother's out Ahunting
in the EmountainsA/E
Big AJohn's been drinking
since the river took Emmy-ELou A/E
So the Apowers that be
left C♯mme here
to do the Ethinkin'
And I A♭mjust turned twenty-Atwo
I was A♭mwonderin' what to Ado
And the A♭mcloser they got,
The C♯mmore those feelings Bgrew.

E  A/E

EDaddy's rifle in my Ahand
felt reasEsurin'A/E

He said,
ARed means run, son,
numbers add up to Enothin'A/E
But when the Afirst shot
hit the C♯mdocks I saw it Ecomin'
Raised my A♭mrifle to my Aeye
Never A♭mstopped to wonder Awhy.
Then A♭mI saw black,
And my C♯mface splashed in the Bsky.

E  A/E

EShelter me from the Apowder
and the EfingerA/E
ACover me with the thought
that pulled the EtriggerA/E
AThink of me
as C♯mone you'd never Efigured
Would A♭mfade away so Ayoung
With A♭mso much left unAdone
ReA♭mmember me to my C♯mlove,
I know I'll Bmiss her.
