AmWith damn cursed Ceyes, the Gmultitude Amsat
As the kettle cars Cpulled along the Grusty tracksAm  
One Craised his hat in the Gfading lAmight
Said  Cexcuse me C/Bsir,this Gdoesn't seem Amright

Now he's Amgone like Gwhispers, Dgone like rAmain
Gone like the Gfaithful while the Dfaithless reAmmain
Gone like the Gstone the Dbuilder reCfused
Gone and    C/BoverAmdue

AmThere's a river in CTexas with a Gstrong underAmtow
No one crosses it to Cfreedom, no one Gpans for Amgold
Its Cwaters are clear, its Gwaters are Amcold
Its Ccurrent is C/Bswift and no one Gknows where it gAmoes,  it's just
