Caney Fork River by Lee Harvey Osmond
Caney Fork River
Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
G
Well I first saw her on the Caney Fork River
C G
They said her daddy'd rather shoot her than ever forgive her
C G
Falling for one of the Macallum clan
G D
But what do you expect he’s a feuding man
[Verse 2]
G
Every day before breakfast her mother said daughter
C G
It’s time you got your bucket and went to fetch water
C G
And she’d skip down the path to the cool dark eddy
G D G G/C G
That fed into the Caney Fork River
[Chorus]
Em
Caney Fork River
Em
Caney Fork River
C G
Water everywhere it’s a taker and a giver
C
She touched it to her body
G
She touched it to her lips
G D G
How I wish I was the Caney Fork River
G D Em Em7 Em
oooooOOOOoooo
[Verse 3]
G
Well there’s no use thinking that you won’t get caught
C G
Because your lucky streak's been running hot
C G
I couldn’t swim but I started across
G Em Em7
Hangin on to the branches of a hollow log
[Verse 4]
G
Well the log struck a rock and I went to the bottom
C G
And my body washed away late last autumn
C G
Spirit still lingers in the cool dark water
G D G G/C G
That washes the skin of Ferguson’s daughter
[Chorus]
Em
Caney Fork River
Em
Caney Fork River
C G
Water everywhere it’s a taker and a giver
C
She touched it to her body
G
She touched it to her lips
G D G
How I wish I was the Caney Fork River
[Outro]
Em
Caney Fork River
Em
Caney Fork River
C G
Water everywhere it’s a taker and a giver
C
She touched it to her body
G
She touched it to her lips
G D G
How I wish I was the Caney Fork River
G D Em
oooooOOOOoooo
