SOL DO SOL DO SOL
Look out, Ma, there's a white boat comin' up the river
DO SOL DO SOL
With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
DO
I think you'ld better call John
SIm DO
'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
SIm7 DOM7
And it's less than a mile away
SIm7 DOM7
I hope they hope they didn't come to stay
SIm7 DOM7
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
RE
and it's makin' big waves
SOL DO SOL DO SOL
Daddy's gone and my brother's out huntin' in the mountains
Big John's been drinkin' since the river took Emmy Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin'
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wonderin' what to do
And the closer they got
The more those feelin's grew
inter-verse:
SOL DO SOL DO SOL
SOL DO SOL DO SOL
SOL DO SOL DO SOL
DO SIm DO
SIm7 DOM7
SIm7 DOM7
SIm7 DOM7 RE
SOL DO SOL DO SOL
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin;
He told me "Red means run, son, and numbers add up to nothin'"
When the first shot hit the dock I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face splashed in the sky
inter-verse
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the one that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one you never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her
SOL DO SOL DO SOL
