A         D        A          D 
So sweet, so fine, so gentle and mild
    A          C#m        F#m       E
The soul of an angel, the eyes of a child
     A              D         A             C#m          
Well I do love that woman and she feels the same
       D                A              E               A
She gave someone else her promise I gave someone else my name

Chorus:
         E                   D           A
And from Eden to Canaan it?s many a long mile
       E      D             E          E7   
We are only sojourners just here for a while

So sweet, so fine, her hair so black
She smiled as I passed her I stopped and I turned back
I wish I?d kept moving cause who can I blame
She would never break her promise I would not take back my name

Chorus

So sweet, so fine, a tear in her eye
I?ll always remember her words of goodbye
You have danced in my heart and I?ll not be the same
Though I?ll never have her promise and she?ll never have my name

Chorus
