A5                             D5              B5
Where the Mississippi?s flowing on it?s sunny southern shores 
        E5                                   A5
And the steamboat comes a_puffing round the bend 
                                      D5                   B5
There's a little old log cabin with a grape vine o're the door 
      E5                                 A5
And a little whitewashed chimney at the end 
         
Oh, I went away up North when they told me I would find 

Money hanging around like apples on the tree 

But it was as my sweetheart told me there was nothing of the kind 

And the weather was so cold I thought I'd freeze 
    A5                                  D5               A5
I'm going back, yes, going back to the place I love so well 
                                          E5
To the folks who'll want me all their own again 
       A5                             D5                   B5
To the little old log cabin with the grape vine o're the door 
      E5                                 A5
And a little white washedchimney at the end

I can see the smoke a rising from that little ol? chimney top 
As it welcomes me and greets me on the breeze 
Then I?ll start a_running and I know I'll never stop 
Till I've landed in that cabin on my knees
