C#          F#
Poor little turtle dove
C#           F#
Sitting in a pine
G#               C#
Mourning for his own true love
   G#7            C#
So why not me for mine, for mine?
G#7            C#
Why not me for mine?

[Verse 2]
C#            F#
I'm not gonna marry in the morn

I'm gonna marry in the spring
G#                C#
I'm gonna marry a pretty little girl
    G#7              C#
Who wears a big gold ring, gold ring
G#7             C#
Wears a big ole ring

I've got hogs in the pen

Corn to feed em on
G#            C#
All I needs a pretty little girl
   G#7              C#
To feed em when I'm gone, I'm gone

Feed em when I'm gone

C#               F#
I went up on the mountain
   C#             F#
To give my horn a blow
G#                C#
Every girl in the country side
     G#7             C#
Says yonder comes my beau, my beau
G#7             C#
Yonder comes my beau

[Verse 5]

Poor little turtle dove
C#           F#
Sitting on a pine

Why not me for mine?
