My Gmmother came to Hazard when I was just seven

Even then the folks in town said with Bbprejudised eyes

That Cboy's not right

GmThree years ago when I came to know Mary

First time that someone look beyond the Bbrumours and the lies

And saw the Cman inside

We Ebused to walk down by the Bbriver

She Ebloved to watch the sun go Gmdown

We Ebused to walk along the Gmriver

And Fdream our Ebway out of this Gmtown

GmNo one understood what I felt for Mary

No one cared until the night she went out Bbwalking all alone

And Cnever came home

GmMan with the badge came knocking next morning

Here was I surrounded by a thousand Bbfingers suddenly

Pointing Cright at me

I Ebswear I left her by the Bbriver

I Ebswear I left her safe and Gmsound

I Ebneed to Bbmake it to the Gmriver

And Fleave this Ebold Nebraska Gmtown

FThinkng about my life going by

EbHow it's done me Bbwrong

FThere's no escape for me this time

EbAll of my Bbrescue are Fgone, long Gmgone

I Ebswear I left her by the Bbriver

I Ebswear I left her safe and Gmsound

I Ebneed to Bbmake it to the Gmriver

And Fleave this Ebold Nebraska Gmtown
