A                             D              B
Where the Mississippi?s flowing on it?s sunny southern shores 
        E                                   A
And the steamboat comes a_puffing round the bend 
                                      D                   B
There's a little old log cabin with a grape vine o're the door 
      E                                 A
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 
    A                                  D               A
I'm going back, yes, going back to the place I love so well 
                                          E
To the folks who'll want me all their own again 
       A                             D                   B
To the little old log cabin with the grape vine o're the door 
      E                                 A
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
