[Maybelle puts a capo on the 4th fret

and plays as if in the key of C using
6
the following chords]:
7
[C] Oh, I'll twine with my mingles
8
And [G] waving black [C] hair
9
With the roses so red
10
And the [G] lilies so [C] fair;
11
And the myrtle so [C7] bright
12
With the [F] emerald [C] dew
13
The pale and the leader
14
And [G7] eyes look like [C] blue.
15
Instrumental
16
Oh I'll dance, I will sing
17

I will charm every heart,
19
In his crown I will sway.

No words of farewell.

38

39
He's gone and neglected
40
