{Verse I}
F
Hello, my babe. I'm back to stay
C
You're sure wearing fine pretty things
C
But where is your ring, your ring and chain
Bb F
I gave you last summer in the fallin' rain?
Dm Am
"Your ring," she said, It never meant a thing
Dm Am
I gave your ring away
Dm C
I met a man, a gamblin' man
Bb Dm
Said he would buy me the Milky Way."
{VerseII}
F
Away, Away. I've been away
C
I've been so many miles
C
Where is the smile that once lit your face?
Bb F
It seems a tear has taken is place
Dm Am
"My smile," she sighed, with a look a little wild
Dm Am
"My smile it is possessed
Dm C
I met a man, a gamblin' man
Bb Dm
Said he would buy me happiness."
{Verse III}
F
I never, I never
F
You know I never
C
I never had much to give
C
But I gave you my heart
C
Now where is your heart?
Bb F
It was all that I had from the very start
Dm Am
"My heart," she cried, " It has been bought."
Dm Am
She looked at me with fear
Dm C
"I married that man, that gamblin' man
Bb Dm
Who'd shoot you if he found you here."
