Medicine Springs

E A E B7 E E Well I wandered way back in the mountains D E I was searching for fortune and fame A E I found where the water runs sweet from the hills A E A They call it the medicine springs E B7 E They call it the medicine springs E It was there that I met a fair maiden D E Yellow hair and big eyes of blue A E She told me one day she loved only me A E A That she’d forever be true E B7 E That she’d forever be true E A E B7 E E I wanted the best for my darlin’ D E But my pockets were empty and bare A E My love was so great for that starlett of mine A E A I took what another man had E B7 E I took what another man had E As I sit here alone in this jailhouse D E With a letter I can't hardly read A E It said my darlin’ has left this ol’ world A E A She’s a waitin’ in heaven for me E B7 E Waitin’ in heaven for me E A E B7 E E Some day I’ll go back to the mountains D E Where I’ll spend the rest of my days A E And the water that runs frome the side of the hill A E A Will water her flowery grave E B7 E Will water her flowery grave
