DELLA MAE - ABERDEEN
Lyrics written by Celia Woodsmith
A D A E F#m
There is a Atree, flowers in spring.
White cherry F#mbuds, twenty-two Arings.
I helped her F#mgrow, but have never Aseen
Carolina Ewinter or AberF#mdeen.
From the Missisippi Afloodgates my body churned.
Up the river F#mdelta my mother Ayearned
to taste the F#msweetness of her Apain
fallin' Edown in Carolina F#mrain.
And if I Dstay I'll stay toAday.
My body has F#mfollowed in her Awake.
If I'm to Dgo, I'll go aAway
to AberEdeen and there I'll F#mwait.
E F#m
She stayed by the sAea hardened town.
Smell of F#mfish watered dAown,
Taste of F#mliquor on her Amouth,
and her heart it Ewandered down to the F#msouth.
And if I Dstay I'll stay toAday.
My body has F#mfollowed in her Awake.
If I'm to Dgo, I'll go aAway
to AberEdeen and there I'll F#mwait.
A F#m A F#m A E F#m
Her body is Anow hard from the years.
She's still as F#mstrong, still as fAierce.
I've taken F#mall she had to gAive
and given Eback the will to F#mlive.
And if I Dstay I'll stay toAday.
My body has F#mfollowed in her Awake.
If I'm to Dgo, I'll go aAway
to AberEdeen and there I'll F#mwait.
To AberEdeen and there I'll F#mwait
To AberEdeen and there I'll F#mwait
E F#m

DELLA MAE - ABERDEEN

Lyrics written by Celia Woodsmith

A D A E F#m

There is a tree, flowers in spring.

F#m A

White cherry buds, twenty-two rings.

F#m A

I helped her grow, but have never seen

E F#m

Carolina winter or Aberdeen.

From the Missisippi floodgates my body churned.

F#m A

Up the river delta my mother yearned

F#m A

to taste the sweetness of her pain

E F#m

fallin' down in Carolina rain.

D A

And if I stay I'll stay today.

F#m A

My body has followed in her wake.

D A

If I'm to go, I'll go away

E F#m

to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

E F#m

She stayed by the sea hardened town.

F#m A

Smell of fish watered down,

F#m A

Taste of liquor on her mouth,

E F#m

and her heart it wandered down to the south.

D A

And if I stay I'll stay today.

F#m A

My body has followed in her wake.

D A

If I'm to go, I'll go away

E F#m

to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

A F#m A F#m A E F#m

Her body is now hard from the years.

F#m A

She's still as strong, still as fierce.

F#m A

I've taken all she had to give

E F#m

and given back the will to live.

D A

And if I stay I'll stay today.

F#m A

My body has followed in her wake.

D A

If I'm to go, I'll go away

E F#m

to Aberdeen and there I'll wait.

E F#m

To Aberdeen and there I'll wait

E F#m

To Aberdeen and there I'll wait

E F#m
