[Verse 1]
Dm A7 Dm
Oh, Mary was a maiden
F C
When the birds began to sing
Dm F
She was sweeter than the blooming rose
C Dm
So early in the spring
[Verse 2]
Dm A7 Dm
Her thoughts were gay and happy
F C
And the morning gay and fine
Dm F
For her lover was a river boy
C Dm
From the river in the pines
[Interlude]

Dm A7 Dm
Now Charlie, he got married
F C
To his Mary in the spring
Dm F
When the trees were budding early
C Dm
And the birds began to sing
[Verse 4]
Dm A7 Dm
But early in the autumn
F C
When the fruit is in the wine
Dm F
I'll return to you, my darling
C Dm
From the river in the pines

[Verse 5]
Dm A7 Dm
It was early in the morning
F C
In Wisconsin's dreary clime
Dm F
When he rode the fatal rapids
C Dm
For that last and fatal time
[Verse 6]
Dm A7 Dm
They found his body lying
F C
On the rocky shore below
Dm F
Where the silent water ripples
C Dm
And the whispering cedars blow
[Interlude]
Dm A7 Dm A7
[Verse 7]
Dm A7 Dm
Now every raft of lumber
F C
That comes down the Chippewa
Dm F
There's a lonely grave that's visited
C Dm
By drivers on their way
[Verse 8]
Dm A7 Dm
They plant wild flowers upon it
F C
In the morning fair and fine
Dm F
'Tis the grave of two young lovers
C Dm
From the river in the pines
[Outro]
