  While,a away down southern Ontario 
                          D
I never had a nickel or a dime to show
                         A7

Your beds all ready on the bunk house floor
                                   D
If it gets a little chilly you can close the door", in..

With one ole horse and five more guys
                              A7
I asked him where to find the cigarette trees

From the nicotine tar and the morning dew,of..
