Where the (A) Mississippi?s flowing on it?s (D) sunny southern (B) shores 
And the (E) steamboat comes a_puffing round the (A) bend 
There's a little old log cabin with a (D) grape vine o're the (B) door 
And a (E) little whitewashed chimney at the (A) end 
 	  
Oh, I went away up North when they told me I would find 
Money hanging around like apples on the tree 
But it was as my sweetheart told me there was nothing of the kind 
And the weather was so cold I thought I'd freeze 


[Refrão]
I'm (A) going back, yes, going back to the (D) place I love so (A) well 
To the folks who'll want me all their own (E) again 
To the (A) little old log cabin with the (D) grape vine o're the (B) door 
And a (E) little white washedchimney at the (A) end 
 
Verse, CHO Instrumental  
 
I can see the smoke a rising from that little ol? chimney top 
As it welcomes me and greets me on the breeze 
Then I?ll start a_running and I know I'll never stop 
Till I've landed in that cabin on my knees
