Shule the agaragar, shule the coon

Shule, shule, shule aroon
                          D              Am
I don't think that anyone should tie me, oh

       D                 Am    Em
Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill

Weep I will and weep my fill
      D          Am          Em
Every tear would turn a mill
          D             Am
Johnny is gone for a soldier


[Chorus]

I'll sell my flax, sell my meal
        D    Am       D     Am
Sell my only spinnin' wheel
       D      Am             Em
Buy my love a sword of steel
         D             Am
Johnny's gone for a soldier

Loved him, oh, I loved him so
         D        Am      D   Am
Broke my heart to see him go
     D        Am          Em
Only time can heal my woe
